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.
We’d love to see you on Zoom for our services, classes and studies. You are also welcome to join us for prayer and Communion in the Sanctuary on Wednesdays.
Every Sunday Service is at 10 am on Zoom AND in person as of May 2.
Our hybrid service allows both in-person and Zoom participants to attend and participate fully.
Because of pandemic regulations, in-person seating is limited and spaced out. If you would like to attend in person, please contact worship@firstchurchfremont.org so that we can plan our seating to accommodate you. We will also send you our latest guidelines before the service. These are changing rapidly.
Next Service
This section is normally updated weekly on Saturday before the next day’s Sunday service. The words to hymns are projected as part of the service.
