We will return to in person worship on Sunday August 2nd @ 10am. The decision to resume public worship on this date has not been made in haste. While we prepare to hold worship in the Fellowship Hall, we ask that you continue to hold our nation in prayer as many places continue to wrestle with Covid-19. Please be aware that worship will look, feel, and sound different than before the pandemic. For example, no bulletins, no singing, facemasks must be worn, use of hand sanitizer when entering/leaving the building, and social distancing. These are the measures needed to be implemented in our return to in person worship on August 2nd.
Please enter through the side glass door.
Please contact the church office to sign up for a spot for worship by noon on Friday’s (326-3243 or westmeth@fairpoint.net)

Welcome to First United Methodist Church of Westfield.
We are a congregation that emphasizes God’s grace as “the undeserved, unmerited, and loving action of God.” In particular, we focus on four aspects of God’s amazing grace:
Prevenient Grace— God’s Grace That Prepares Us
Justifying Grace—God’s Grace For Us
Sanctifying Grace—God’s Grace Perfecting Us
Glorifying Grace—God’s Grace Bringing Personal and Social Transformation
Our congregation is made up of families and individuals of various shapes and sizes but who are united in God’s grace. God’s grace is “God’s presence and power to create, heal, forgive, reconcile, and transform persons, communities, nations and entire cosmos.” This church offers for all a safe place to ask questions, wrestle with doubts, and struggle with uncertainties, so that one may grow deeper and stronger in a relationship with Christ.
Come experience God’s grace in, among, and with us as we worship, pray, study, fellowship, serve and play. During the school year Apple Seed Christian Preschool operates in our facility. Each week we house the Westfield Community Kitchen for lunch on Mondays and Fridays (11:30am-12:30pm) as well as dinner on Wednesdays (4:30pm-5:30pm). On Tuesdays throughout the year the Westfield Community Food Pantry (1:00pm-2:30 or by appointment) is open to the community. We are a church committed to being the hands and the feet of Jesus Christ.
Being entrusted with God’s grace, we as Methodists live by a simple pattern:
Do No Harm – Making More Room for God’s Grace
Do Good – Living Grace-Fully
Staying In Love With God – Growing in Grace.
In Christ’s Name,
Nicholas Perry,
Pastor
Mission statement:
