Great church and place to worship. Service is every Sunday at 10:30am. They also have an awesome community outreach ministry to help the community and those in need.

I’ve been coming to this church often on for years. Always a pleasant congregation. Always a clean area. Nothing really super special sticks out, but the people are nice, and the sermons are OK.
First United Methodist Church has been a vibrant faith family in downtown Gainesville since 1857. We’re a community of faith that believes in welcoming and affirming ALL people with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors!
Our First UMC faith family believes that everyone, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic condition, family structure, or physical or mental ability is a worthy child of God and we welcome and affirm everyone who comes through our doors into all aspects of the life of this congregation.
