History
The First Methodist Episcopal Church was organized on June 21, 1871. The first church was located on south Main Street, and the church moved again in 1878 and again 1903. In November of 1959 our present church site was consecrated. In 1968 the church was renamed First United Methodist Church to coincide with the union of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church. In 2012 the leaders of the congregation voted to rename our church Heart of Longmont in order to renew our focus on serving the people of Longmont with loving acts of kindness and compassion. It is with much enthusiasm and hope that we enter this newest chapter in our history, committed to creating a community of cooperation, tolerance and love in Longmont and the surrounding area.
Specialties
At Heart of Longmont, we believe strongly that the creation of a flexible and durable faith calls for a balance between heart and head. A living and dynamic faith calls on the Holy Spirit to inform and enliven us as we engage the realities of everyday life. Our task is to bring the Biblical witness to our own unique experiences, tempered by our ability to evaluate and process both authoritative sources and the needs of an increasingly diverse culture and world. To this end we have embraced the identity of Heart of Longmont as the thinking-person's church,
