Celebrating God in Word, Worship and Witness
Thanks for looking into First United Methodist Church of Independence! Browse this site to discover a little more about who we are and what we’re becoming. First Methodist is celebrating our 175th year of ministry by looking boldly toward a future of radical possibility.
