Discover
Dearborn First Pride!
At Dearborn First UMC, you are:
WELCOME. We welcome the wide spectrum of race and color, culture and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, spirituality and religion - knowing we are all better when we embrace the entire rainbow.
AFFIRMED. The faith community of Dearborn First UMC affirms and celebrates that all people are beloved children of God, regardless of sexual orientation or practice, gender identity, or gender expression.
INCLUDED. You have always belonged. God’s love has been with you from the beginning. We’re not just welcoming you, we’re growing and changing with you. Come share your gifts, your story, your spirit. Let’s build communities of love, hope, and grace together.
VALUED. And that’s why we are committed to continually learning, seeking education and training to recognize our bias and recalibrate our thinking on sexuality, race, and culture. It is our mission to guide our faith community ever forward toward new ways of thinking, understanding, and opening our doors wider.
Let us share our Dearborn First Pride with you!

Find us at Booth #140 at Motor City Pride Festival!
We reach out through community events because we want you to know there is a place where you are welcome, where you are included, where you are affirmed. A place where you can live and grow in your faith as a perfectly created, wholly loved child of God. A place where you can find a supportive faith community, worshiping and serving alongside you, genuinely happy you are there.
Come find Dearborn First and Central United Methodist Churches at Motor City Pride Festival June 7 and 8!

Discover our Commitment as a Reconciling Congregation
Eight years ago, our congregation voted overwhelmingly to become a Reconciling Congregation in affiliation with Reconciling Ministries Network, an organization mobilizing United Methodists to seek full inclusion and equity for LGBTQIA+ persons in all areas of church life.
We are proud to be a place of welcome where all may experience the fullness of their faith - including leadership, ordination, and marriage!

Connect with God through Worship + Study
Worship here Sundays at 10 a.m., either in-person or livestream. Interested in checking out a typical Sunday? Or maybe you’re looking for a place to spend Christmas Eve? You are welcome here!
Find worship details at dearbornfirstumc.org/worship
ALL THROUGH JUNE our sermon series deals with moving past belonging and really “being” the church, building communities of equality, reconciliation, and hope together.
Let’s Talk!
We know that building relationships both requires, and ultimately builds TRUST.
Maybe you have questions.
Maybe you’re skeptical.
Maybe you’ve been hurt by the church.
Maybe you’re looking for a supportive faith community. Maybe you’re not.
Maybe you just want to vent.
Our pastor, Suzy, is ready to listen, and invites you to take a step toward trusting and loving each other. She’s open for coffee, brunch, or even an office visit or call, if you prefer.

Dearborn First Pride is not limited to one Sunday, one weekend, one month.
This is who we are every day.
Every day, we are broadening our understanding, widening our circle, calling for an inclusive church.
And every day we still have hope.
Hope that the LGBTQIA+ community continues to accept our invitation to worship, serve, and create a caring, more complete community here at Dearborn First UMC. Hope that together, we can build communities of faith, love and justice for all people.
