Ministries
At First UMC, we are trying to be faithful to where God is leading us.
We understand that to be a constantly changing mission; however, we understand the pathways by which we will be engaged in ministry are:
Passionate Worship
Radical Hospitality
Risk-Taking Mission and Service
Intentional Faith Development
Extravagant Generosity
Each of these ministry pathways is fueled by our basic church systems of nurturing one another, welcoming all, empowering the team, and serving others. Our church structures, committees, teams, and groups are designed to support this life system, and our Ministries Action Plan sets goals and objectives towards which we all may strive.

At First UMC Park Ridge, “welcoming all” means that we see all persons as created in the image of God and bearing sacred worth and dignity. We invite all persons to participate fully in the life of our church regardless of age, race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental condition, marital status, family situation, or economic standing.
