About Us:

First Methodist is a faith community that has been present in Pittsfield for over 200 years. Today this faith community, situated in the very heart of Pittsfield, is engaged with life in the 21st century in new ways and ancient ways.

We worship God, through our faith in Jesus Christ, with the power of the Holy Spirit 

We pay attention to God through prayer, service, self-denial, bible study, accountability groups and sharing resources—using the “means of grace” God has given us.

We serve God by actively engaging in loving service with those who are most in need, through ministries of food (community dinners and food shelf), clothing, visitation of those who are sick or in trouble, care for children, young people and seniors, as well as the environment.

We share the presence, love and name of God, as well as the resources God has provided through the witness of our lives and service in community, our dedication to using the resources God has entrusted to us for God’s work of love for those who are broken, marginalized, hopeless, addicted or impoverished.
