This is a gathering where people new to First Church learn more about Methodism, the history and ministries of First Church and community called First Church. Anyone who is interested in learning more about these matters are invited to attend.

Greeters are friendly and welcoming people who greet people at entrances. They offer God’s welcome and hospitality as people walk through the entrances. They are the first point of contact for many on Sunday mornings.
