If you are looking for a church that combines an intellectual approach to religion with a vibrant emphasis on contemporary implications for faith and one's own relationship with Christ, then this is a church worth visiting.
Three services take place in the sanctuary each week, complete with a full choir at either 8 or 11 (sometimes both), liturgy (use of book of common prayer and ancient creeds), and communion each week.
First Methodist also offers a service known as "ICON," which also meets at 11:00 in the Perry House (the large white building next to the sanctuary). While ICON uses the same liturgy as the Sanctuary service and also offers communion each week, it features a full band for its musical offering. ICON attempts to blend the best of current Christian worship trends with the ancient practices of the church. The service does a wonderful job of bringing these elements together on a week-to-week basis.
Whether you are more at home in a sanctuary or in a more contemporary space, First Methodist Pensacola is a growing church with friendly people that offers a wonderful worship experience. read more
