Sweetwater First Methodist Church

ABOUT US

A community of faithful followers of Jesus Christ, Sweetwater First Methodist Church is built on the foundation of generations past while committed to reaching the present generations and leaning forward into the future as we plan ways to transform our world with God's love and grace.  

 

We are people from different backgrounds, many different age groups and experiences.  Each one contributes to the whole community as we worship,, grow and serve together.  We take joy in the relationships we have with one another and we welcome newcomers to share in the joy we've found.

 

We are committed to seeking to know Christ, and to make Him known as we read the Bible, share our witness, and as we break bread together.  We don't turn anyone away.  We hope you'll find a welcome home here among us.
