Our Story

How it all started...

You have to go all the way back to a Wednesday on May 21st of 1873.  On that day, a group of persons representing a new church start filed a certificate with the Nobles County Register of Deeds, proclaiming the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Worthington.   Since that time, thousands of lives have been impacted by this church's faith in Jesus Christ. 

Expanding the vision...

Throughout the years that followed, members of this church work to be faithful, knowing they are not perfect.  But they strive to be perfected in the love that God has for each one of us.

Where we are headed...

First UMC members are always trying to help others through missions, education, and continued learning.  

Members are looking for ways to seek the truth, grow in God's wisdom and serve all.
