Welcome!

We are glad you are visiting our site.

At First United Methodist, we believe God's grace surrounds us at all times and places. When we recognize and respond to that, we begin to receive the gift and grow in hope, peace, joy, and love.

No matter where you are on your journey of faith, you are invited to find community together in worship Sundays at 10:30am in person or online! We mix a relaxed atmosphere with inspiring, spirit-filled, traditional worship.

Prior to that we have Sunday School groups for all ages at 9:30am with a variety of studies, discussions and fellowship opportunities. Come check it out!

Pastor Christopher Eshelman shares sermons based on Scripture and illustrated with art, photos, and the occassional video clip.

We hope we will equip

and inspire you to take

the next step on your

own journey of faith!

The mission of First UMC Fort Scott is:
“to share the good news of the life, death and resurrection
of Jesus Christ and to exemplify the love of God by
knowing Christ, growing in Christ, serving Christ and sharing Christ”

Join us in daily prayer for our church, community and world at 3:01pm,

(or set an alarm for another time

that works better for you.)

The Upper Room offers a Daily Devotional that you may find helpful.
