About Us:

At Medford First United Methodist Church or Church of the Rogue, we want to offer a progressive form of Christianity that embraces science, affirms people with different sexual or gender identities, and promotes a religious attitude of personal growth and service to others over an obedience centered religion based on beliefs and doctrines.  We are a church that is transitioning from an older, traditional congregation filled with people who have always attended church to a congregation of people from their mid 30s on up, many of whom have not attended much church.   We seek to offer creative worship services that inspire, challenge, educate, entertain and transform.   We define God through the stories of Jesus so we think of God as infinitely merciful and loving, even while God continues to challenge and surprise us.
