Communion
As United Methodists, we celebrate open communion. We believe that Christ our Lord welcome ALL people to His table. As a means of grace, communion opens us to receive God’s love, and therefore should not be withheld from anyone. To honor various understandings and backgrounds, children are served with the approval of their parents or guardians.
Baptism
Baptism is our initiation into the body of Christ, the Church. As United Methodist’s we baptize all ages, since all people are welcomed by Christ into the Church. We baptize by sprinkling, pouring, and immersing as requested by the individual or family. As a sign of the new covenant, the amount of water is not what is important, but rather the act of being baptized by water and Holy Spirit which initiates us into Christ’s holy Church and the universal Christian family.
Weddings
Your marriage is a sacred undertaking. The wedding ceremony is a worship service celebrating the union you are entering into as husband and wife in the presence and power of God. We are pleased that you have chosen First United Methodist Church of Arkansas City as the place to begin your marriage. We want to help make your wedding a beautiful and memorable occasion; one that reflects the lifelong relationship of love you begin on that day.
