Welcome to FIRST UNITED Methodist Church of Stillwater
Our loving, welcoming, Christ centered community of faith wants ALL people to know they are wrapped in God’s love. You are invited to know and experience God’s love through worship, music, prayer, fellowship, small groups, and community outreach.
Wrapping ALL people in God's Love is the mission of the FIRST UNITED Methodist Church. We embrace the following statement included in the United Methodist Church Book of Discipline:
"We affirm all persons as equally valuable in the sight of God. We therefore work toward societies in which each person's value is recognized, maintained, and strengthened. We support the basic right of all persons to equal access to housing, education, communication, employment, medical care, legal redress for grievances, and physical protection."

Advent Study Nov 26 - Dec 17 on Zoom with Bishop Lanette Plambeck based on Magrey DeVega's 'The Christmas Letters'
Plan now to participate in the 2024 Advent Study led by Bishop Lanette Plambeck. In this study, United Methodists across the Dakotas and Minnesota are invited to read "The Christmas Letters" by Magrey DeVega, which has us looking at a special set of letters written to the earliest believers about the incarnation. We will look at Romans, 1 John, Philippians and Colossians to see what they reveal about the miracle that God became human in the birth of Jesus. Discussions will be held via Zoom on Tuesday evenings, Nov. 26-Dec. 17, 7-8:15 p.m. **The Zoom link will be provided as the first discussion draws near.

Hundreds of people participated in last year’s study, and it was a wonderful time of connection and conversation as we prepared our hearts and minds for Christmas.
