Our purpose as the First United Methodist Church of Azle is to know Jesus, to grow in His love, to serve one another, and to share the gospel.
from Senior Pastor, Dr. Richard Reed
Our church leaders have been diligent in working to protect our members and guests during this pandemic. Everyone knows the information about COVID-19 is constantly changing and the situation is very fluid. The Administrative Board has been taking the changing information into consideration as plans for opening the church have been refined.
The Administrative Board has adopted the following plan for opening the church for worship and activities. The opening will be conducted in three phases. Phase 1 will be for worship only with no childcare, Sunday School, or outside groups in the church. This phase began on August 9, 2020. Phase 2 will allow for small groups and meetings at the church, but no outside groups. This phase will take place when deemed safe. Phase 3 will be a return to all activities and ministry of the church and will take place when occupancy is 100%.
We will continue to evaluate this crisis and make decisions as the situation evolves. I want to remind you that we are a people of faith who trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for ALL things. Be prudent, be careful, do what is reasonable, and remember we will not live by fear. This is a serious situation but not one that should make us question our faith in Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all time and he is Lord of this moment. We believe that only you can determine when you feel safe returning to worship and church activities.
Please continue to pray for one another, our health care workers and First Responders, our nation, and our world, and let us continue to serve the Lord in all we do. Please contact myself or the church office if you have any questions or concerns.
Grace and Peace,
Dr. Richard Reed

Greetings

Welcome to the First United Methodist Church of Azle website. As you click through the various tabs you will find a snapshot of ministries for this active congregation. Nestled in the heart of Azle, this church community of faith has
been actively involved in the lives of children, youth, and adults for many years as we share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are committed to helping each individual and family grow in their faith as a disciple of Jesus
Christ. At the First United Methodist Church of Azle you will find a variety of worship settings, opportunities for mission and service, and learning settings for all ages on different days of the week.
If you are visiting for the first time, we suggest you enter the building through the covered entrance on Church Street. This will bring you to the atrium area where you will find a staffed welcome desk we call, “Connecting Central.” Connecting Central can direct you to the nursery, sanctuary, HUB or any other part of the building.
Our
worship services are casual in dress. In each of our morning worship services you will find an exciting and compelling presentation of Biblical truths in word, song, and prayer. We have three styles of worship on Sunday morning
from which to choose. Our 8:30 a.m. service is a musically blended service in the sanctuary; the 9:45 a.m. service is a contemporary service and is held in the HUB (our activity building); and the 11:00 a.m. service is a traditional
worship service in the sanctuary.
If at any time you have questions, please ask a Greeter, Usher, a host at the Connecting Ministries Welcome Center, or a staff member. You may also contact the church office during
the week or send us an email. We are glad to have you visit and be a part of First United Methodist Church of Azle.
Grace and Peace,
Dr. Richard Reed
