Milford First is partnering with ArtWorks to create a vibrant, community-focused mural that celebrates our region and church’s identity on the blank wall of our building facing the new Five Points Landing Park.

At the invitation of District Superintendent, Rev. Jenn Lucas, Milford First’s Visioning Board recently agreed to join a growing list of churches within the West Ohio Conference designated as North Star Congregations.

In today's fast-paced and demanding world, mental health and wellness have become crucial aspects of our overall well-being. As Christians, we’re called to honor God with our bodies and minds, which includes caring for our mental health. As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, consider these five practical strategies that you can use to proactively care for your mental health.

Milford First United Methodist Church is more than simply the name on the sign in front of our building. It’s a statement of our shared identity, and a statement of our shared commitment to being the Light of the World, serving our Risen Christ in our corner of God’s Kingdom.

Milford First UMC’s Visioning Board is pleased to share that Bishop Gregory V. Palmer, in conjunction with Rev. Jenn Lucas, superintendent of the Ohio River Valley District, and the West Ohio Conference Cabinet, has appointed Rev. Mick Whistler to succeed Rev. Steven Rodgers upon his retirement at the end of June 2023.

Every Sunday, Milford First’s praise band, Quarter to Nine, leads our 9 a.m. worship service with beautiful music and song. We caught up with worship leader Aaron Carpenter to learn more about the band’s members and their unique style.

The season of Lent begins with the ancient Holy day known as Ash Wednesday. That day, marked by a special evening service, invites us to move our faith from preparing for the Light, claiming the Light, and embracing the Light, to walking with Christ so closely that we become the Light – the very Light of the world Jesus calls us to be.

Are we owners or stewards? What is the difference? Why does answering the question matter to those who follow Christ?

We’re launching our Love Campaign during the weeks leading up to the Lenten season, a campaign that calls us to support the mission and ministry of Milford First through our time, talents and treasures.

A few days ago, God gifted us with a brand new year of wonders and opportunities to be the people of God in our corner of the Kingdom – what a wonderful gift! And, what a wonderful time to take stock of all we are grateful for during the past year of 2022.
