do not be afraid
This Easter, we celebrate the truth that death cannot stop the good news. For the women at the tomb—and for all of us—the good news is not only that the tomb is empty, but that the risen Christ is still undeniably present. Jesus’ words to the women become a message for us all: Do not be afraid! God has defeated death. Rejoice, and share the good news. This is surely a reason to celebrate.

We strongly believe that people are important to God and therefore are important to the church. Our core values are to show that same love, care, and kindness, friendliness, and patience that He does. Our desire is to help build families and relationships that are God-centered and God - influenced.
From Sunday morning worship and Sunday school to Bible studies, Gothenburg First United Methodist Church is focused on helping you to experience how God's love and grace can change your life.

Let's Celebrate our Church's High School and College Graduates on Sunday, May 3rd, during the church service and with a fellowship time after church. Graduating from Gothenburg High School are
Axel Jorgenson, Boone Tederman and Tunney Grigg. College graduates are: Chesney Bartlett, Arissa Ackerman, and Ali (Bartels) LaRue. Plan on joining our congregation to celebrate these students during church and fellowship time following church.
