Our vision is to be a growing and committed family of believers, united as followers of Christ.
From the Pastor
Dear Friends,
Welcome to a look at our church family. I hope that as you look at the various ministries
you will discover the rich heritage of the El Dorado First United Methodist Church.
The roots of our church go back to 1833. For 176 years we have been working and serving
within our community, baptizing young and old, sharing the message of the gospel, and changing
lives by introducing people to the love of Christ.
For 176 years we have worked to become disciples of Christ. We have laughed and cried with
each other. We have rejoiced together at weddings and baptisms. We have held hands with the sick
and bereaved. We have struggled with each other through the hard times and have enjoyed each other's
fellowship in the good times. Through it all we have learned what it means to be the family of God.
Today we are striving to continue the work begun so long ago with worship, teaching, fellowship,
and disciple-making. We want everyone to know the joy of the Christian life, the blessings of
fellowship with Christ, and the warmth of God's family.
Come, and be a part of this great experience with us.
Jim Polk, Senior Pastor
