The First United Methodist Church of Oviedo (aka First Church Oviedo) is a 1,400 member, multi-generational church located in the heart of Oviedo. We offer three Sunday worship gatherings of varying styles, as well as many opportunities for spiritual growth and emotional support during the week. We are very active missionally, both in our own community and throughout the world.
Our mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world as we seek to fulfill our vision of every person becoming a follower of Jesus, loving God and others.
At First United Methodist Church of Oviedo, we always welcome new friends, and we hope that you will join us for Sunday worship services and weekly activities. We believe in having fun and fellowship, and would love for you to be a part of anything we do!
