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 from Alameda County
As we have been informed, Covid numbers are on the rise again due to the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant. Alameda County along with many counties is now mandating everyone wear masks inside regardless of vaccination status. This won’t change too much for us here at the church during Sunday worship and for other weekday activities and meetings since we have been trying to follow the Covid guidelines. Let’s do all we can do, to stay safe and healthy ourselves and to help our neighbors be in the same place. We request that all of you who come to the service on Sunday to Wear Masks.
Every Sunday we have a hybrid Service is at 10 am — both on Zoom AND in person. Everyone can participate fully.
Next Service
This section is updated weekly on Saturday before the next day’s Sunday service. The words to hymns are projected as part of the service.
Information for November 21, 2021:
This Sunday – First Sunday of Advent, we enter the season of Advent and a worship series called “The Inn – House the Holy” which has been designed by Dr. Marcia McFee, a professor, worship designer, and visionary ritual artis. During the Advent and Christmas season, we journey through scriptures, carols, prayers, and our stories.
We will carry the memories and truths of this season close to our hearts and open the door to new possibilities where the Spirit of Advent leads us to.
