Building Community
The Roseburg First United Methodist Church invites you to attend Sunday services, participate in our outreach efforts, and attend our ongoing activities and special events.
Upcoming Events
We have many ongoing regular activities as well as special events throughout the year. You can stay up-to-date by checking out our calendar. We also strive to keep our visitors and members in the loop with a weekly email newsletter, bulletins at Sunday service, flyers around the church property, and a Courier newsletter that we send out monthly. You can also like our Facebook page. We hope to see you at a get-together soon!
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. The kits can just be left in the pews when the children leave.
Local Outreach
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, weddings and other special events.
Global Outreach
The Roseburg First United Methodist Church donates to relief efforts worldwide. Globally we contribute to Camphor Mission, The Haiti Education Foundation, and we provide mosquito nets through the Alternative Christmas Project. We sponsor various outreach initiatives, disaster relief efforts and mission support through UMCOR.
