We begin a life as a Christian by praying to receive Christ as our Savior, opening our hearts to Him and trusting in His grace to remove our guilt and give us new life. This new life, once begun, is lived out in the community of Christ’s people and in service and witness to the world.  We grow in grace as Jesus cultivates in our lives the fruits of His Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control.

Come forward at the close of one of our worship services and tell a pastor that you would like to be a part of our family of faith, or contact one of our pastors at any time to discuss membership.

Methodism was born out of a great revival that took place in England over two hundred years ago, and which spread to North America soon after.  This movement profoundly shaped our nation.  John Wesley was a priest in the Church of England, but God used him to ignite this new movement of God’s spirit.  Our basic beliefs, from these earliest days, are these: 

Who is Christ? 

He is the Son of God, who became flesh and blood for our sakes.

Why can He save us? 

He willingly laid down a perfect, innocent life for us, paying a ransom that frees us from the guilt of sin and its power.

How is this salvation received? 

It is God's gift of grace, which we receive through trusting Jesus to save us.

What is the extent of this salvation? 

He can save the worst of us, shape our character into the very image of the loving God, and grant us life eternal.

How do we show that we are saved? 

By a life of love to God and service to others, self-denial, joyful witness, and dedication to social justice. 

How do we know we are saved? 

God’s Spirit bears witness to our spirits that we have been adopted as His children.

Believe it or not, this is one of the most often asked questions!  You might be wondering if we wear suits, jeans, khakis, dresses or capris.  The answer is, "Yes"!

First and foremost, come as you are.  We look forward to seeing you, not what you are wearing.

You will find most people dress casually comfortable with guys in khakis and a polo or button up shirt and ladies in skirts/dresses or pants and tops.

Once you arrive at Norcross First United Methodist Church, you will find a variety of options awaiting you:

If you have infants or preschool children, you will want to go to the Nursery/Preschool wing.

If you have school-age children, you will want to find their Sunday School classroom on the lower level at 9:30 or their own worship service in the Fellowship Hall at 11:00.

If you have youth, they will be in Contemporary Worship at 9:30 or in Sunday School at 11:00.

For adults, there are small group classes or worship opportunities at either 9:30 or 11:00.

We offer ESOL classes at 9:30 and an 11:00 Hispanic worship service. 

All your questions and directions to each location can be answered at our Greeters Desk located between the Family Life Center and the main Sanctuary.  Feel free to ask anyone you see; they will gladly direct you! 

Welcome!
