About Us We are dedicated to the mission of building a community that proclaims the love of Christ, embraces diversity and encourages spiritual growth and service. Our vision is to transform lives and make a difference in the community and the world. First United Methodist Church is a servant church in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. We do not have a Church council or Administrative Board, FUMC opperates with a Servant Leadership Board, beacause it is important for us to always remember that we are servants of this Church and the Charlotte community. We are located on North Tryon Street, in the historic Fourth Ward neighborhood. We are a church with both a heritage and future. First United Methodist Church was founded October 26, 1927, when two Methodist congregations, Trinity and Tryon Street, joined as one congregation. Since that time, First UMC has sought to answer God’s call to serve the needs of the Charlotte community. One such example is Urban Ministry. Established in 1995, First UMC entered into partnership of Uptown churches to provide the basic necessities for the homeless and working poor at the Seaboard Train Station on North Tryon Street. First UMC continues to look the future in a thriving, revitalized Center City. Some of the values we uphold include integrity, excellence, authenticity, relevance, passion, humility, faith, inclusivity, commitment, joy and love. The life and ministry of First UMC seeks to reflect these qualities. You are invited to come discover that there is a place for you at First UMC!
