Our Mission Statement:

鈥淐anton First Methodist Church exists to glorify God and make disciples by sharing our lives with others so that everyone will find hope-filled life in Christ.聽We are Christ-followers, called to live missionally by intentionally aligning our lives to participate in God鈥檚 redemption of all creation.
