Our Faith.
Our World.
Each Other.

At First United Methodist Church West Lafayette, we embrace and celebrate the complexities of our faith, our world, and each other. Together we pursue knowledge and understanding in our journey as Christians. We strive to make the world a better place through service and social action.

And, we nature each other’s true selves as we collectively build a community of inclusive Christianity. As a Reconciling Congregation, we joyfully and unconditionally welcome and care for all in our Church family and beyond.

"I can't imagine being a part of a different faith community! I love that our church is welcoming, loves and supports children, encourages us to think critically, and seeks ways to serve our local community and world."

Advent Season: Singing Hope, Peace, Joy and Love

This year Advent begins on Sunday, November 29, 2026. This season, we will celebrate with a worship theme titled Carols for the Coming Christ.

Through familiar and new carols, we will consider their messages in fresh ways and join our voices to proclaim Christ’s renewed creation of hope, peace, joy, and love for our world.
