At First United Methodist Church of Chambersburg, we offer a vibrant community for believers of all ages. Our members carry out the vision of the United Methodist Church through our worship, small group education, and outreach under our Mission Statement:

To know Christ and make Him known


Open Communion

We believe God’s grace is open to all, and therefore practice open Communion, meaning that anyone may participate in receiving Communion.

Salvation

We believe salvation is an open gift from God, accepted by individuals according to their own free will.

Theological Discourse

We believe in providing space for theological discourse and, at times, disagreement.

We affirm the beliefs expressed in the Apostles’ Creed

  • The belief in one God, who is the Creator and sustainer of the universe.
  • The belief in the Trinity, that there is one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  • The belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is fully human and fully divine.
