Who we are

Welcome to the First United Methodist Church of Zephyrhills

Our Mission Statement

The mission of the First United Methodist Church of Zephyrhills is to enable all people of every age to experience God’s loving care as presented in the life of Jesus Christ. As disciples of Christ, our church will combine Christian influence with a welcoming atmosphere, providing services and programs to strengthen individual and family life.

From what began as a dream of a dozen or so people over 100 years ago, First United Methodist Church has continued to grow to meet the social, spiritual and relational needs of persons living in the greater Zephyrhills area. With programs, small groups and events for persons of every age and interest, we are helping people to build life-long connections with each other.

Through worship, Bible studies and prayer groups we are helping people to experience a life-changing relationship with God. Today, we are actively reaching out to people throughout our community to help them to learn of God's amazing love and grace in their lives. Our Director of Student Ministries, along with a dedicated core of adult leaders, is working hard to help us make a profound impact in the lives of children, youth and their families.

Our commitment to counter the effects of bullying has us actively involved in our surrounding Elementary, Middle, and Sr. High schools. Our Thrift Shop provides household goods, clothing and more at nominal costs to help others. Our Food Pantry is available for those whose shelves are running low. Project Others makes clothing and other personal hygiene items for people of all ages and stages of life.

Our Parish Nurses provide free screenings and health information/referrals for those concerned about their health. We serve as host to a number of 12-Step Programs for people to come and find healing and wholeness in life. We offer courses and studies on a variety of life issue and concerns to help us to better prepare for the surprises of life. We are a host site for the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace course which is designed to help people gain better control over their everyday finances and resource management.

We provide Biblical counseling to those needing guidance and direction in some phase of their lives. Our Stephen Ministers provide confidential one-on-one caregiving to those working through an upsetting moment of life. There is SO much more I could have listed here. This is a busy place!

Always in God's Grace Pastor Jim

First United Methodist Church of Zephyrhills History

For the past 100 years, Methodist Christians have worshiped and served Zephyrhills. In 1912, Reverend N. J. Hawley, by the authority of the District of the Conference, began meeting and ministering to about 30 persons.

This group organized the present church. After meeting in various locations, the first sanctuary was built with assistance from the Livingston Fund in Jacksonville, and was dedicated by Bishop Luther B. Wilson on January 10, 1915. At that time the bell that we hear each Sunday morning was purchased and installed in the belfry of the first sanctuary. Stephens Memorial Hall was begun in 1922 and completed in 1924. Growth inspired the current beautiful sanctuary which was opened June 13, 1963.

The bell was then transferred to the new belfry. Roger Sibley, Sr. was the construction superintendent of the 1963 sanctuary and all subsequent buildings. Our beautiful stained glass windows were designed and crafted by Karl J. Mueller, with facial painting by Leonid Neczwid, who had studios and lived in Zephyrhills.

Throughout the years, additions and improvements have been added. Fellowship Hall, renamed Floyd W. Cooper Hall, was built in 1973; Henry L. Kinnard Chapel and Christian Education Building in 1978 - 79; the church office, Roger L. Sibley, Sr. Building, in 1985. Ministry through outreach by music, missions, United Methodist Women, United Methodist Men, Prayer Groups, Bible Study Groups, Sunday School classes, Stephen Ministry, Disciple Bible Study, Small Groups, children/youth programs, and so much more continue today to enrich and promote the growth of our church in the community.

The power of Christian prayer Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
