Supporters of Christ First United Methodist Church, because of the rapid increase of Covid-19 in our area, it has become increasingly necessary to limit contact in close proximity with one another so as not to overwhelm our health care facilities and to keep all of us as healthy as possible during this pandemic.
Christ First is responding to this reality with a spirit of faith, not a spirit of fear. We are doing our part to comply with expert guidelines and will be closed for worship and other church related activities until February 7, 2021. It is our sincere hope that we can again safely worship together in truth, love, and faith as one body on that date.
Until that time, virtual worship will continue to be provided weekly on our Facebook Page at ChristFirstJamestown or our Website www.ChristFirstJamestown.org. Questions or concerns can be emailed to c1stumc@gmail.com.
Please note: The Northside Food Pantry will remain open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:15 to noon.
