Welcome to Worship at First United Methodist Church in Colorado Springs!
Informal Traditional Service
This service, located in the Lehmberg Chapel on the corner of Nevada Ave. and Boulder St. is great if you enjoy the intimacy a small town church in the middle of the big city. This community gathers with shared laughter, shared prayer, shared stories, and a sense of community that can be hard to find in busyness of everyday life. It is a beautiful sight to see such deep connection with God and one another. This service is in-person, and streamed live on Facebook every Sunday at 8 am.
Holy Communion, open to all, is served on the first Sunday of each month (except July).
Traditional Service led by our Youth Singers
This traditional worship service is led by our Youth Singers, a marvelous choir of voices in 7th – 12th grades. We know how busy families can be with all of their activities. So, with a 45 minute early service, families can worship early, and get to their sports games or mountains; whatever is calling to them on their sabbath day. This traditional worship service is located in our downtown sanctuary at 8:00am every Sunday, with Youth Choir practice every week immediatly following worship.
Holy Communion, open to all, is served on the first Sunday of each month (except July).
Crossroads Worship Service
If you love to worship with a more informal contemporary spirit and upbeat praise music, then you will want to check out our Crossroads Worship Service. This contemporary service is designed with families in mind. It is a little less than an hour in length with Children's Sunday School and nursery for infants through 5 years old offered at the same time. This service is located in our downtown sanctuary at 9:00am every Sunday.
Holy Communion, open to all, is served every Sunday.
Heartstrings Bluegrass Service
Our tagline is “Bluegrass – Worship – Wild Hearts.” Bluegrass is easy to understand; it reflects our style of music. Worship is also self-explanatory; it reflects our reason for gathering. Wild Hearts is a little harder to capture. The term “Wild Heart” refers to a deep identity that rejects altering who we are to fit in, but instead standing strong in who we are to find true belonging. This service is in the FUMC Theatre and streamed live on Facebook every Sunday at 10:00am.
Holy Communion, open to all, is served every Sunday.
FUMC Prairie Campus
Visiting a church for the first time can be a daunting experience. We know it can be scary walking through those school doors to visit the Prairie Campus. We assure you, though, that the hard part is making up your mind to visit. Once you are here you will find a huge welcome, new friends, and inspiring worship. To make your time easier, we wanted to provide you with some information to prepare for your first time on our planning a visit page.
Holy Communion, open to all, is served every Sunday.
11:00 TELEVISED TRADITIONAL SERVICE
Week after week we bring our best-selves to God with powerful preaching from Kent, moving music from our chancel choir, shared liturgy, and organ music that fills the entire space. There are multiple adult Sunday School classes offered from 9:30 to 10:30, Children's music from 10:00 to 11:00 and they can stay for Sunday school from 11:00 to 12:00.
