Asbury First UMC

Just as the Christian faith is about bringing life to the world, Asbury First is about bringing life to this community. We believe the way to the fullness of life promised by Jesus Christ is through love. Through love we find life. In a love-filled life, we are led to serve others. Through service to others, we find love fully expressed. This cycle is the heart of discipleship and as such, we believe it is the key to living into God’s dream for this community. Our mission at Asbury First is to love God and neighbor, to live fully, to serve all, and then to do it all again. Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10). Asbury First is a United Methodist Church located in Rochester, NY. We encourage full participation in our community for all, regardless of age, race, origin, gender, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital status, family structure, education/economic background, and physical/mental ability.
