With joy, gratitude, and a shared commitment to the Gospel, we celebrate a historic milestone in our community.
Ottawa First United Methodist Church and Ottawa Trinity United Methodist Church have officially united to become one single, combined congregation: One Together United Methodist Church.
Whether you walked through the doors of Fourth Street or Cedar Street for decades, or you are looking for a community of faith for the very first time—there is a place at the table reserved for you here.
The name One Together is a choice that holds both the call to unity and the act of practicing it. Unity is something we choose on purpose in response to Jesus. Unity is how we do church together as United Methodists in partnership beyond the local church.
Neighbors gathering together in worship, growing together in discipleship, and serving together in the world.
Our unity is a signpost to a divided world. We seek to create a community where people experience belonging, hospitality, dignity, healing, and restoration—and where we partner with others to serve our neighbors.
Jesus prays that his followers may be one, reflecting the unity of God.
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
We are called to live with humility, gentleness, patience, and love, preserving the unity of the Spirit.
Every member matters. Our different gifts and roles belong together in the body of Christ.
The early church gathered for teaching, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and shared life.
