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, July 30, 2021
Unfortunately, and sadly, we were informed in the middle of this week that more counties in California have converted its indoor mask recommendation into a mandate regardless of vaccination status – to mask indoors. With this new guideline for the health and safety of us and our neighbors responding to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, I encourage 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 August 1:
It’s Communion Sunday!
For those who join Zoom, please prepare your own communion elements at home.
The worship team will also look for ways of keeping us safe in the best ways we can while serving communion at the sanctuary.
For our Scripture reading, we will continue with the letter to the Ephesians 4:1-16. Paul invites us to reflect upon how we become built into the body of Christ and what fruits of the Holy Spirit help us to be a healthy, vibrant, and mature body of Christ : I, therefore the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, and making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
