Welcome to FUMC Loveland

First United Methodist Church​

We have a motto:

Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.

And we strive to be an open and accepting congregation. You are welcome here – just as you are!

Before you dive into our website, let me introduce myself. I’m new here too.

As the new Lead Pastor of Loveland First United Methodist Church, I’ve been spending my first weeks asking questions, listening to stories, meeting wonderful people, and discovering what makes this community so special. Think of me as a fellow explorer—learning the paths, finding the hidden treasures, and being continually surprised by the ways God is at work among us.

What I’ve discovered already is a church filled with people who genuinely care about one another, who seek to follow the teachings of Jesus with compassion and courage, and who believe that everyone has a place at God’s table. Here, we strive to bless and serve our local and global communities while living in harmony with God, one another, and all of creation. We believe people don’t need to have everything figured out before they belong. We welcome people as they are, trusting that God’s grace is already at work in every life.

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, returning after some time away, searching for a church home, or simply curious about who we are, we’re glad you’re here. In fact, your presence is a gift.

As you browse these pages, I hope you’ll get a glimpse of the vibrant, caring, and faith-filled community that is Loveland First United Methodist Church. More importantly, I hope you’ll discover that there is room here for your questions, your hopes, your gifts, and your story.

We would consider it an incredible blessing to walk alongside you as you grow in your relationship with Jesus and with others. So, take a look around, learn a little about us, and when you’re ready, come visit. We’d love the opportunity to meet you.

I hope you have a wonder-full day!
