About

First Methodist Church began in a box car near the railroad in 1874. Now we are one church worshiping in two locations in Long Beach. 

We seek to engage, equip, and enable people to be disciples of Jesus through Compelling Worship, Authentic Community, and Sacrificial Service.

Our leadership team is made up of staff persons and dedicated volunteers. They all have a common goal: to engage, equip, and enable people to be disciples.

First Methodist Church is a Global Methodist congregation. Find out more about what we believe by clicking the button below.

We would love for you to experience worship with us in person. We are a community where everyone is welcome to come see and experience God's transforming grace. Click below for more information on where we meet and what to expect in both of our worship services.
