A Church for Everyone
We know it is tough to find a church that is truly welcoming. First has been welcoming and discipling people of every age and every walk of life for a long time. First is church for you, your parents and your children. We truly have open hearts, open minds and open doors.
I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
– Ephesians 4:1-6
First UMC has been a vital force for good in the heart of the city for over a century and a half. We are passionate for the New Braunfels and want to make a real impact on the community. If you are interested in putting your faith into action, First UMC is the church for you. Our major focus is food insecurity in children. It is a major issue in our community. We partner with many organizations and have many missions. Check out our impact page to get sense of how the church is making a difference.
