Redlands 1st United Methodist Church

A New Vision of Community

The Scriptural Vision of the Body of Christ, the Community of Faith, unfolds anew in every generation.  That is to say, in every gerneration we learn new lessons about what it means to be united in Christ.  The key to learning these lessons is to not confuse unity with unanimity.

As we face an increasingly fractured and tribal culture, Scripture teaches us much that can help us.  We will spend the next three weeks exploring Paul’s vision of this community.  We begin this week in 1st Corinthians 12 with a consideration of the common good.

Omicron Has Caused a Change

For the next few weeks, because of the tremendous surge of the Omicron variant we will return to online only worship.  This circumstance has necessitated other changes in the life of the church

• All meetings and Bible Studies will be conducted via Zoom
• If you have been bringing your offering to church on Sunday, you may drop it off at the church during the week
• These changes will last for at least three weeks and then reevaluated based on COVID infection rates

Live Streaming Worship

During COVID we have come to realize that our online worship experience had value to many.  Caregivers, travelers, homebound persons and many persons from outside the immediate area of the church have expressed gratitude for this form of worship.  In order to continue meeting the needs of this part of our community, online worship, through our YouTube Channel, is now a permanent part of our ministry. 

Click here for the link. The feed will come online shortly before 9:30 am and continue through the end of worship. This stream works well on any device you have available from computer browsers to mobile devices to smart TVs. As you bring up the channel, there will be a link for the live feed. In addition, you will be able to access previous worship services.

On our Digital Media page you will find a range of different content to spiritually nourish you in your daily life.
