About us:

First United Methodist Church in Olympia has been a part of the Olympia community for 153 years - a living body of believers known for caring community and faithful service. We would love to welcome you to the fellowship of this church, whether you are a newcomer to the community or a long-time resident.

This is a large church, with rich and varied programs to offer. Our worship schedule includes two Sunday morning worship services--a Celebration-style service at 8:45, and a Classic service at 11:15. In between services, you will find a wide variety of Christian education classes. If you can't attend on Sundays, or enjoy a more intimate and contemporary style of worship, join us Saturday evenings at 7:00. All of these services of worship are centered in Scripture, and I or one of the other pastors do our best to bring the message in an alive, vital way, relevant to the issues we all face.

A vital small group ministry, varied short-term adult classes on Sunday mornings, along with Christian education for children and youth, fine youth programming on Sunday nights, and service opportunities near and far are available for people who want to grow in their faith and discipleship.

Through our history, many people have come through the doors of this great church, both pastors and lay people. They have had a hand in shaping its ministries and in turn have themselves been shaped by its ministries and by God.
