Our purpose as the First United Methodist Church of Azle is to know Jesus, to grow in His love, to serve one another, and to share the gospel.
MINISTRY AND MISSION DURING COVID-19
from Senior Pastor, Dr. Richard Reed
How glorious to know that
even when God’s people cannot meet in person, that does mean the church is not
the church. All believers are the
church! We are in ministry and mission
wherever we are and with the people around us!
Even with the restrictions on gathering in crowds, Bible Studies,
meetings, and ministry are being conducted through ZOOM and using online
resources. We are concerned about
maintaining the safety and health of all members while continuing to be the
church in the best possible ways.
Please remember:
- The church office
is still open but the hours and staffing has been reduced. The hours are Monday 10:00 a.m. until Noon;
and Tuesday-Thursday 8:30 a.m. until Noon.
If you need to come by the office at other times, please call ahead to
schedule an appointment.
- Please contact Rev. Tim Thomas if you have a pastoral need or emergency. Having all needs directed to Rev. Thomas allows us to better respond as a church family. You can contact Rev. Thomas by clicking on ABOUT US at the top page and selecting STAFF. Click on “email Timothy Thomas” and complete the contact.
- We continue to offer online worship through our Facebook pages (First United Methodist Church of Azle and The Bridge – Modern Worship at FUMC Azle). Since we cannot gather in-person, along with our Facebook page options for worship, we have added a YouTube channel. We are updating our technology to better broadcast our worship services.
- Financial gifts during this time can be made here on the website by clicking GIVING, through the mail, or by contacting Pat Noe. If you need to bring a gift by the church office outside of office hours, you can place your gifts in our mailbox (across the street from the office). The mailbox is a “lock box” and is secure. You can also contact the church office for any questions or concerns.
We will continue to evaluate this crisis and make decisions as the situation evolves. I want to remind you that we are a people of faith who trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for ALL things. Be prudent, be careful, do what is reasonable, and remember we will not live by fear. This is a serious situation but not one that should make us question our faith in Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all time and he is Lord of this moment. Pray for one another, our health care workers and First Responders, our nation, and our world, and let us continue to serve the Lord in all we do.
Grace and Peace,
Dr. Richard Reed
Greetings
from Senior Pastor, Dr. Richard Reed
Welcome to the First United Methodist Church of Azle website. As you click through the various tabs you will find a snapshot of ministries for this active congregation. Nestled in the heart of Azle, this church community of faith has
been actively involved in the lives of children, youth, and adults for many years as we share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are committed to helping each individual and family grow in their faith as a disciple of Jesus
Christ. At the First United Methodist Church of Azle you will find a variety of worship settings, opportunities for mission and service, and learning settings for all ages on different days of the week.
If you are visiting for the first time, we suggest you enter the building through the covered entrance on Church Street. This will bring you to the atrium area where you will find a staffed welcome desk we call, “Connecting Central.” Connecting Central can direct you to the nursery, sanctuary, HUB or any other part of the building.
Our
worship services are casual in dress. In each of our morning worship services you will find an exciting and compelling presentation of Biblical truths in word, song, and prayer. We have three styles of worship on Sunday morning
from which to choose. Our 8:30 a.m. service is a musically blended service in the sanctuary; the 9:45 a.m. service is a contemporary service and is held in the HUB (our activity building); and the 11:00 a.m. service is a traditional
worship service in the sanctuary.
If at any time you have questions, please ask a Greeter, Usher, a host at the Connecting Ministries Welcome Center, or a staff member. You may also contact the church office during
the week or send us an email. We are glad to have you visit and be a part of First United Methodist Church of Azle.
Grace and Peace,
Dr. Richard Reed
