I understand that finding a new church is not easy.  So I would like to give you some brief ideas of what we as a church are trying to do.

In Sunday morning worship, we want you to leave a service with a sense of “Wow! God is here!” 

We also want our messages to be applicable to your day to day decisions.

I understand that if you are a parent, you have high goals and good intentions to raise your children right. Before your children begin their own journeys of life, you want to expose them to the love and teaching of the Lord. 

If you are coming with kids, you can certainly bring them to worship with you. Or you can take them to Sunday School or the nursery.  

I understand that visiting a church can be intimidating if you do not know anyone at that.  But I would like to tell you that people at Taylor First United Methodist Church are very Warm, Loving and Caring

I hope you will come to church a few minutes early, or stay a few minutes after church, so we can get to know you and become friends

In my experience, while finding information on a church through a website can be helpful, personally visiting a church gives a much clearer picture.

So I encourage you to visit us.  Thank you for exploring our church!

Our Beliefs

Doctrine
“We believe in Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man, in whom the divine and human natures are perfectly and inseparably united. He is the eternal Word made flesh, the only begotten Son of the Father, born of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. As minstering servant he lived, suffered and died on the cross. He was buried, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to be with the Father, from whence he shall return. He is eternal Savior and Mediator, who intercedes for us, and by him all persons are to be judged.”
 
Wesleyan Heritage And Belief
The Wesleyan heritage, foundational to the Methodist Church, stems from the teachings of John Wesley and his brother Charles in the 18th century. Central to this heritage is the belief in “holiness” or sanctification, which emphasizes a life of personal and social holiness, reflecting a deep relationship with God. Methodism advocates for “grace,” which is seen as God’s unmerited favor, and it underscores the importance of both prevenient grace, which draws people to God, and justifying grace, which offers forgiveness. The tradition also highlights the necessity of “social justice,” encouraging followers to work towards societal reform and care for the marginalized. Wesleyan theology promotes a practical, methodical approach to faith, characterized by regular worship, disciplined study, and active service. This commitment to personal and communal transformation continues to shape the Methodist Church’s mission and ministry today.
