Fremont First is a warm, inclusive Christian Community in the heart of Fremont California. We invite diversity by respecting differing voices, views and experiences, yet we are unified by our mission: to manifest the love of Jesus Christ in the community and the world.
At Fremont First, we seek to follow Jesus’ teachings and example, especially the commandment to love our neighbor unconditionally. We invite you to join us in worship, in communion, in fellowship, in study and in service to others.
We welcome you and your family into the life of Fremont First, regardless of your skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental capacity, religious background, family configuration, economic means or immigration status.
As the people of the United Methodist Church, we practice opening our hearts, opening our minds and opening our doors. You are welcome here.
Please check our Social Positions section for our statements on violence against Asians, Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ issues.
Current Service and Activity Information
During the height of the pandemic, we moved our activities online. Now that almost all of the congregation has been fully vaccinated, we offer a hybrid service with both in-person services as well as the zoom service.
Coronavirus Guidelines
We follow the masking guidelines from Alameda County. These guidelines change periodically as the virus changes. COVID poses a risk, especially for those who are not fully vaccinated against the virus. When people wear a mask correctly, they protect others as well as themselves.
At this time, FUMC still asks that everyone 2 years of age and older wear a mask while attending a service inside our church.
Every Sunday we have a hybrid Service at 10 am — both on Zoom AND in person. Everyone can participate fully.
Next Service
This section is updated weekly before the next service. The words to hymns are projected as part of the service.
Information for Sunday, March 19, 2023
Dear Beloved FUMC Families,
As we gather this Sunday, the 4th Sunday in Lent, with our theme of “Looking for the Shepherd”, we will continue our communal Lenten practice of Breath Meditation during the service.
Our scripture readings for this Sunday (Psalm 23 and John’s Gospel) invite us to reflect on our faith journey and to seek guidance from our shepherd. The Psalmist reminds us that God is always watching over us. Jesus often uses the metaphor of a shepherd to teach us how we should love and care for one another in our community of faith and beyond.
As we explore what it means to be shepherds for each other, let us come together as God’s flock and learn from our shepherding God. We belong to God as sheep to a shepherd!
