About

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in First UMC!

The Mission of Pontiac First United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Our mission, based on Christ’s Great Commission and motivated by Christ’s Greatest Commandments, is the foundation for ministry at First UMC. We are deeply committed to living out the teachings that Jesus gave His disciples in all that we do. From our diversity of worship services, to our family gatherings, our small group studies, hosting community events, serving through the Livingston County Community Pantry, partnering with local Christian based services and groups, and inviting and welcoming new guests on Sunday morning – we live these teachings out in our hearts, our minds, and our actions. 

We are a church family seeking to fulfill our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of Pontiac and our world. We are faithful to our mission as we extend radical hospitality to all persons, engage in the passionate worship of God, provide opportunities for faith development, participate in risk-taking mission and service, and live a lifestyle of extravagant generosity. We invite you to explore our website and discover how we are living out our mission daily. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

We would love the opportunity to share in relationship with you as together we seek to serve our Lord Jesus Christ.
