Our Mission

Our mission is to love God, love your neighbors, and make disciples of Jesus Christ! We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings as we come together to praise God.

First United Methodist Church of DeSoto is a friendly, caring congregation. Our worship services feature inspirational music and heartfelt sermons in one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in the Dallas area. For those unable to attend in person, we livestream our weekly services on our Facebook page.

At First UMC DeSoto, Christ is at the center of who we are and all we do. We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and in Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection offer us the gift of new and eternal life.

As United Methodists, we believe deeply in God’s grace—the love God freely offers to every person. Through that grace, we are invited into a relationship with Christ and called to grow in our love for God and for one another.

We celebrate Holy Communion as an open table, welcoming all who seek Christ. We practice baptism for infants, children, youth, and adults and recognize Christian baptism received in other denominations.

Our mission is simple: Love God. Love one another. Make disciples of Jesus Christ. We live out that mission by welcoming people into the life of the church, growing together in faith, and serving others in Christ’s name.
