Welcome to York First UMC!

Join us on Sunday mornings at 10am for worship service each week.  We love guests!  Our service combines a mix of traditional and contemporary worship songs.  We would love to have you join us on Sundays or throughout the school year on Wednesday nights at 6pm for a free meal and a time of gathering together!  Take a look at our featured church events below or click on the events tab above.  Our contact information is located at the bottom of the page.


Lenten Sermon Series: DEEPER

Every week we will be going DEEPER into scripture and we invite you on a personal journey of exploration. Read the scripture for Sunday on Friday or Saturday and see how it speaks to you. Take note of any words or phrases that stand out to you. Pay attention to the mental images in your mind. Pause and give space for God to enter and speak. Join us on Sunday and hear it in the context of worship. Then you are invited on Wednesday nights to Bible study after the meal to go even deeper - to listen and share with others. In this way, we "experience" the Bible instead of just "read" it. We can rest in the words and in Him.


Check us out online on our YouTube channel "FUMC York NE" 

where we livestream our services each week.

New to our church? 

 

On the corner of 7th and Nebraska Avenue stands more than just a building—it’s the first church planted in the community of York, a presence of faith and hope for over 150 years. And today, we’re still here—not just as a landmark, more than a building, but as a living, breathing community. We are York First.


A church that has stood through every season, a people committed to one mission: to grow a Christ-centered community that loves and serves. We love because Christ first loved us. We connect with one another as we grow together. We serve, because God calls us outward, to make a difference in the lives around us.


Our space is more than walls—it’s a home for the community. On Wednesday nights, children and youth fill our halls with laughter, learning, and friendship--- a safe place to grow and belong. They are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, discovering new ways to live out their faith, knowing that church happens wherever we gather to love, learn, and serve.


On Sundays, we worship with a blend of tradition and contemporary praise—honoring where we have been and embracing where God is leading. It’s a space where all ages can come as they are--- yet be transformed by the love of Christ. We believe Christ is still transforming lives—right here, right now. And we believe we are called to join Him.

Whether you are exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for a place to belong, there’s a place for you at York First UMC! There is room for you here.


Come discover. Come belong. Come serve.

Kids & Youth Ministry

We love our kids and youth!  We believe youth are a vital part of a healthy church and desire to offer fun, faith-filled activities and teaching to foster growth within each child in their individual walks of faith.  Our Wednesday night program that runs September 10, 2025 through early April 2026 offers kids and youth a chance to gather and learn about Jesus' love for them.  We have a gathering time with activities at 5:45pm with a meal open to all ages at 6:00pm - even parents!  The meal is free-will donation and features favorites like nachos, pork loin & cheesy potatoes, spaghetti, pancakes & ham and other delicious meals prepared by a loving, experienced kitchen staff.  Class time begins at 6:30pm for all kids and youth with adult bible study available during special times throughout the year.  The last Wednesday of the month is a craft night for kids through 5th grade.  


Hooray! April 8th will be our last Wednesday night gathering. The meal will be served at 5:30pm to allow time for kids to eat before we go to the community center until 7:30pm in celebration of our year together. Admission to the event is free. Bring a friend! Please bring a swimsuit and towel. Parents can pick their child up from the community center or join them there if you want to stay.
