Welcome to the First U.M.C. of Bradenton. We are glad that you chose to visit us on our web-site.

First Church is a warm and friendly church that is interested in your personal and spiritual

development. We have a diverse ministry because our membership is open to all people

committed to Christ and to those seeking a spiritual relationship with Him.

       I Corinthians 12:4-26 tells us that "there are a variety of gifts, but the same spirit.

       " John Wesley put it this way: "In the essentials--unity; in the non-essentials-

       -freedom; in all things--LOVE. We believe that "We are the people of God,

        called to live and  worship in the presence of God's Love, Justice, and

        Mercy, to nurture the churched and the unchurched."

If you are in the Bradenton area for a brief visit or during the winter season or if you are looking

for a church home please come and worship with us. I look forward to seeing you.
