We're glad to have you come by to check out our web site.  The First United Methodist Church of Schuylkill Haven is centrally located in Schuylkill County, on the west end of Schuylkill Haven.  We are a Bible-believing congregation that loves the Lord and has a heart for missions.  If we haven't had the opportunity of meeting you, we're eager to do so.  We're excited to share with you the marvelous ways God is working in our church.

It won't take you long to discover that this is truly a family, rich in relationships.  Growing together, we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn, and reach out to others with life-transforming truth.

We'd love for you to come and worship with us!  May the Lord richly bless you.

In Christ,

Pastor Chris Fisher
