8:30 am Worship Service

A time of music, prayers, and sharing. It includes a variety of musical styles and the format is primarily meditative. The service generally is about 45 minutes in length. Communion is served at this service on the 1st Sunday of each month.
​

10:30 am Worship Service

A rich worship experience for people from all age groups and church backgrounds. It offers a blend of traditional, contemporary, and popular musical styles. Communion is served at this service on the 1st Sunday of each month​.
“Time with Children” is an important part of this worship service. Children gather for a special message and then proceed to Sunday School.
​

Sunday School for Children

Sunday School meets during the 10:30 AM worship service, following the "Time with Children".   We use the Spark Lectionary curriculum.  Children will hear a message similar to what their parents hear in the service.  This allows families to discuss the message together. Teachers of youth Sunday School meet periodically to organize their curricula and plan special events. Contact the church office for more information and volunteer opportunities.
​

Nursery

Nursery care (for infants to children 4 years old) is offered free of charge during both Sunday morning services.  This service is located in the Education Building on the south side of the patio.​

OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS, AND OPEN DOORS.

​Coffee and snacks are provided in the Social Hall between our Sunday services.  Take time to socialize and get to know the people of the church.  A wonderful opportunity to discover our various church ministries and upcoming events.

PROFESSION OF FAITH

The United Methodist Church recognizes baptisms of other Christian traditions because we believe baptism is a one-time occurrence.  If you have been baptized, but have not made a profession of faith as an adult; or you were once a member of a church where you professed your faith but have lost track of your membership, you will make a public profession of faith. 
​

BAPTISM AND ​PROFESSION OF FAITH

If you have not yet been baptized, in order to join the church, you will be baptized and make a public profession of faith. It is typically done in the context of a regularly scheduled worship service because the congregation plays a critical role in the life of the person being baptized.
​ 

TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP

If you are transferring your membership from another denomination or from another United Methodist congregation, La Mesa First will write your previous church for a letter of membership transfer.
