First United Methodist Church-Modesto

Welcome to First United Methodist Church's page. We are a vibrant, growing church which offers many opportunities for you to grow your relationship with God.

We offer one service on Sundays. Join us at 10:00 for our traditional service and on the first Sunday of the month at 5:00 we offer a Jazz Vespers service. Both services are unique in their style and are welcoming to all.

Our Mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
