Welcome to First United Methodist
Church of Coral Gables where we believe that all people matter to God!
At First Church, we celebrate the love of Jesus Christ through worship, small groups and service to our local and global community.
Whatever your worship preference, we have a service for you. At 8:30 am
and 11:00 am every Sunday, we offer traditional services of fellowship
and worship. If you prefer a new style of worship, join us at 9:30 am
for our Awakening
Service, where we offer a relevant message for today, enjoy
contemporary music and drama and celebrate communion. For our Spanish
speaking friends, we offer a service in Spanish at 9:30 am.
We also celebrate our faith through the ministry of small groups.
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, we have found that a
small group is a safe, inviting place where we share the joys and
concerns of our everyday lives. In small groups, we learn to grow and
experience a true relationship with ourselves, with each other and with
Jesus Christ.
For more than 75 years, our church has also enjoyed a tradition of serving others. Through missions
such as Habitat for Humanity, service to the homeless and Alfalit
International, we are serving the needs of those at home and abroad
while introducing people to Jesus Christ.
Whether you are searching for answers, seeking to grow spiritually or
looking to help others, we hope you will join us at First United
Methodist Church of Coral Gables!

| Our 8:30 Service is a
traditional Methodist service for those who like to get the day started
early. Held in our chapel, the smaller group allows for a more intimate
time of worship.
The Awakening Service
is an alternative worship experience that begins at 9:30 am in
Founder’s Hall. With a live band and singing, multimedia and drama, the
Awakening provides for joyful worship in a casual setting. Holy
communion is celebrated every Sunday in this service.
At 9:30 am, we also provide a Spanish Service which caters to the needs of our Hispanic community.
If you enjoy a more traditional and formal worship experience, please join us for our Traditional Service. Our 11:00 am worship service features traditional liturgy and music.
We celebrate holy communion in our traditional services on the first Sunday of every month.
No matter what your worship preference may be, we have a service for you! |
