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.

We join in Tri-City Interfaith Council’s Statement on Black Lives Matter
In response to the violent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and the many named and unnamed victims of racial violence, the Tri-City Interfaith Council stands in solidarity with our Black siblings in proclaiming that Black Lives Matter. We are heartbroken for the lives lost and the families left behind to grieve.
We refuse to be silent in the face of the systemic racism that has plagued our nation for the past 400 years and endures today. We will raise our voices against racial injustice whenever and wherever it is found.
We actively support systemic change and will work toward a justice system that truly values Black lives. We join Black Lives Matters in pursuing an end to the culture of police violence in this nation.
As we work to eradicate racial injustice, we will examine our own attitudes and actions. We will strive to end personal and structural racism, while encouraging others to do the same.
As people of diverse faith traditions and spiritual paths, we believe in the value and dignity of all human life. We choose, and will promote, compassion, respect, non-violence, and equality for Black people everywhere.
We pray that this culture of violence and white dominance in our nation will be healed, not just in word, but by our actions, attitudes, policies, and practices.
We affirm that Black Lives Matter.
