Stewardship at FUMC Gulfport

"You're far happier giving than getting." -Acts 20:35, The Message Bible

Worship is not entertainment, nor is it about always getting something out of it. Worship is always about giving back to God, giving thanks to God for all that God has given us. We are a blessed church and community, and we invite you to give thanks to God in and through First UMC with your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

We invite you to submit your Financial Commitment Card for 2026. Estimated gifts are important, as they help us plan and budget for the upcoming year.

This is a faith community that works every day to love God and to love others. It is inviting and open to everyone regardless of who you are, where you are from or where you have been. Those qualities are reflected in the preaching, the programs and the outreach.

First United Methodist Church was my spiritual home when I lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Pastor Claire Dobbs and the team made everyone feel welcome. The team went above and beyond to provide a engaging worship, fellowship, and discipleship experiences, and their service to the community is a model that we all should strive to follow.
Jess Waltman
Wonderful church that is active in service to our community. My family and I are so thankful that we decided to try this church out 11 years ago. Claire and Jill do a great job leading us and the people are welcoming and willing to serve!
Bob Reeves
I love being a member of FUMC. Everyone is so welcoming and it’s easy to plug in. People don’t judge when you walk in the door. Our church really has a “come as you are” attitude, and I think that’s my favorite part. I love our pastors and music team as well!
Nathan Powell
I came to FUMC about 12 years ago thanks to a friend, and I am so thankful I did. The two pastors, Claire and Jill, are absolutely amazing! They make you feel welcomed, valued, and engaged from the moment you arrive. If you’re looking for a church home where you are truly loved for who you are, this is your place. God’s love abounds here!
