WELCOME TO PORT ANGELES FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
A welcoming & inclusive home for community, service, and the spiritually curious – in the heart of Port Angeles.
YOU MATTER HERE
Whoever you are, wherever you come from, and whatever your story may be – you are seen, valued, and welcomed just as you are. At Port Angeles First UMC, this isn’t just a belief; it’s how we live.
Come as you are, because this space was made with you in mind.
CHRIST CENTERED
We welcome all people, faith traditions, orientations and backgrounds to participate in our body of faith. We believe everyone is beloved just as they are, and your journey of faith – your Spirit – matters to us!
A Spiritual Journey, or Journey of Faith, calls us to openness, exploration of ourselves and others. Join us as we work together to foster community resilience, spiritual vitality, meaningful connection, and transcendent joy.
Meaningful Worship
Join us for worship Sundays at 10:00 am in the church sanctuary for Scripture, liturgy, music and a message from our pastor, Rev. Bennie Grace Nabua.
Our services are traditional in style, with hymns, scripture readings, prayers, a sermon, special music, and other sacred elements. During the school year, a choir provides special music; in summer we feature musicians from our congregation and community.

Congratulations and thank you to Carolyn Stimbert who was recently recognized with the United Methodist Church Pacific Northwest Conference's #BeUMC Laity Award for her many years of dedication and service to the weekly Friendship Dinner.
The Friendship Dinner provides a free, hot and nourishing meal to 90 to 135 guests each Friday evening, with Carolyn overseeing the full scope of operations with remarkable organization and dedication. She maintains strong relationships with our 14 partner cooking teams and is always ready to jump in with a helping hand.
What truly distinguishes Carolyn, however, is her deep connection with the people we serve. She knows many of our guests by name, understands their stories, and ensures that each person is treated with dignity and respect. The meals we offer, complete with coffee, milk, tea, and dessert are truly important, but it is Carolyn’s spirit of hospitality that transforms these dinners into a true community.
Please join us in thanking and congratulating Carolyn! ... See MoreSee Less
