All Are Accepted Just as They Are
At FUMC Loveland we believe that all have sacred worth and are beloved children of God. Therefore, we strive to accept all people as they are as we welcome them into our community. Our inclusion knows no boundaries or conditions. Leadership at FUMC recognizes that the church has not always succeeded in loving the way Christ calls us to; therefore, we hope to reconcile our relationship with the community by loving all our neighbors and by serving our communities.
Bless and Serve
We believe in doing all the good we can in all the ways we can. Therefore, we strive to bless and serve the local and world communities to our fullest ability. Our church and missions team provide a variety of services for the communities including, but not limited to, financial giving, affordable rental space, service projects, and more!

Missions and Service
Disciples of Jesus Christ
We believe and strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ; peace, love, hope, justice, and acceptance. Being disciples of Christ means we strive to live into these values while we cultivate our personal and communal spiritual lives. Through following these teachings and grace we may develop our relationship with the triune God (Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer) so that we may live more sanctified lives.
United Methodist Heritage
As United Methodist we celebrate and live into our Wesleyan roots. John Wesley taught that all receive freely given grace (prevenient grace). By faith we move into a life of salvation (justifying grace) and begin the process of further cultivating our relationship with God (sanctifying grace) so that we may be made perfect in God’s love.

UMC Vision Statement
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!
We are a group of 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.
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!
