For over 138 years, the people and ministries of First United Methodist Church Richardson have left a meaningful impact both in our local community and around the world. Our words and actions are making a difference every day, and those words and actions are rooted in the Christ-centered values that help guide us as a congregation.
Compassion, Humility, Respect, Inclusion, Servanthood, and Teamwork are the threads that bind us together as a family of faith. These pillars shine brightly through all our ministries, from children and youth to music and missions. It’s who we are in all we do.
We invite you to prayerfully consider your upcoming commitment to the Annual Campaign. Your financial gifts, regardless of size, help make a difference as they strengthen our ability to tangibly live out our values while sharing God’s love with communities both near and far. We are blessed to be a blessing!

WORSHIP
WORSHIP
We’re grateful for the opportunity to express our faith and join others to celebrate God’s love and grace. We lift our hearts in prayer, song, and reflection, seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves and others as we’re reminded who we are and whose we are. When we leave worship, it’s with renewed passion and clarity, inspiring us to live out our values in the world.
SERVICE
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, challenged many to “do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can…” We continue to live out those words today. While passionately serving people with Christ, we aspire to make a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors while building strong relationships along the way.

We’re grateful that these meaningful connections extend far beyond the walls of our church and far beyond Sunday morning. We celebrate the privilege of meeting people where they are in worship, prayer, song, and study. We’re seeing first-hand that our values can be shared with our neighbors next door and across the miles.
