Building Community

Upcoming Events
We have many ongoing regular activities as well as special events throughout the year. We strive to keep our visitors and members in the loop with a weekly email announcement, bulletins at Sunday service, flyers around the church property, and The Courier, our bi-monthly newsletter.

Join Our Choirs
We believe music is a special and sacred part of our worship services. You are invited to join one of our choirs and participate in the joy of music. We have a Melodiers Handbell Choir, Voice, and Chancel Choir. The choirs rehearse every Wednesday. For more information and to join a choir, please contact Music Director Michael Wheeler at music@fumcroseburg.org.
Children Welcome
Parents and guardians of children five years of age and younger may drop their children off at our clean, well-equipped nursery where they will be cared for by attendants who are screened and certified according to our Safe Sanctuary abuse prevention program.
For children ages 10 and above coming into worship, there are colorful worship activity trays that can be picked up at the main entrance to the sanctuary. Please leave kits in the pews to be collected by staff.

We believe in helping others. The Roseburg First United Methodist Church actively gives time and donations to several local organizations including the FISH Food Pantry.
Our property is used by organizations such as The Umpqua Valley Youth Orchestra, the Umpqua Valley Farmers Market, and the Westside Community Gardens. Our property is also used by various organizations for meetings, activities, and other special events.
