First UMC Corpus Christi

Welcome!

to Corpus Christi, the city with the beautiful name - "Body of Christ" Drive along Shoreline Drive, and you will pass a magnificent sculpture of Jesus, standing at the end of his boat, arms stretched out over the waves, calming the sea. Some of our youth giggle and call him "Surfin' Jesus," but we all know who holds the sea and the sky in his hands!

I invite you to worship with us; to work with us; to witness to God's love in our lives and in our community. Learning Loving, Living Christ, we are committed to being the Body of Christ in Corpus Christi.

First United Methodist Church is the oldest church in Corpus Christi, founded in 1846, with the first church building built in 1853. For over 160 years, a Methodist presence has led and directed the city into the present age, and we continue to be committed to leading this community forward.

Browse through our website and find all the marvelous ways you can "plug-in" to the multiple ministries here at First Church.

Thank you for visiting our site!
