Serving Our Community

Our Mission:

LOVE. ST. PETE.

Jesus said, “Love one another as I have loved you.” —John 15:12

Our Vision:

St. Pete First UMC will be the heart of the city of St. Petersburg, where people are transformed into disciples by the love and grace of Jesus Christ and empowered to solve the unmet needs in our community and beyond.

The 2nd of our Vision Goals is to increase our impact in St. Petersburg through Christian service by reducing hunger, increasing literacy, & increasing community care.
