Bridging the gap
What We Mean When We Say 'All Are Welcome'
From the start, Methodist churches were planted on the edges—right where roads met and communities crossed. A place where the wealthy and the struggling brushed shoulders. Where the weary and the hopeful gathered under one roof.
For nearly 200 years, the First United Methodist Church of LaGrange has been nestled at the corner of Broad and Trinity Streets. And we’re still doing what Methodists have always done best—building bridges. Opening doors.
Making space where everyone belongs, just as they are.
Whether you’re chasing toddlers, stepping into retirement, navigating change, or simply looking for a place where you can show up as your true self—you’ve got a place here.
A lot of churches say, “All are welcome.” We mean it. Not just a warm hello on Sunday morning—but a seat at the table, a voice that matters, a community that sees you for who you are and loves you for it.
