First United Methodist Church of Holland

Our purpose as a congregation is to help all people become ardent followers of Jesus Christ. To do so, we join together for worship, for prayer, for study, and in service to our community and to the world. -- Rev. J. Lynn Pier-Fitzgerald

Worship Services Every Sunday: [MAP]

New worship times starting in September, watch for details.

Children are welcome as part of our joyful worship celebration.

Rocking chairs are provided in the back of the church and a nursery is available for children who have not yet started kindergarten. For the summer, we will offer one structured learning alternative:

Summer Sunday school only during the 10:30 worship time. This is for children who are 4 through those who just finished the 3rd grade and will begin following the Children's Time. It will take place on the first floor and children can be picked up there following worship.

Located on tables behind the back row of seats in the sanctuary are:

Activity bulletins and crayons for children who stay in the worship service.
Large-print bulletins for those who have trouble reading smaller print.
Headsets for the hearing-impaired that allow the listener to hear the hearing loop system transmission.

Our church is equipped with a Hearing Loop System which may enhance hearing using your hearing aid. Please set your hearing aid to the "T" switch.

Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity

Stress. Anxiety. Even fear. These words capture well the state of mind of many of us today as economic uncertainty and instability continue in our nation, state, and community. We invite you to join us beginning Sun., Oct. 10 for a church-wide study and worship emphasis called Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity.
