Welcome to the web page of the First United Methodist Church of Gouverneur.

God's home is an open house and you are welcome in it.  In fact, you are welcome to make yourselves home in it.  Jesus, himself, is our doorkeeper and our door.  He says, "Come on in through me.  Believe in God.  Believe in me also.  My Father's house has many dwelling places."

The Gaithers Vocal Band, a Christian singing group, proclaims in one of their songs,
"There's plenty of room in God's family."  Our family is God's family and we want you to be part of it!

So I say to you, as Pastor of this Church, come be part of us.  Be part of the Body of Christ.  Worship with us, study the Bible with us, pray with us, serve with us, and fellowship with us.  God wants you to be part of Him and of His.  We are not whole and complete without you, whether you are an infant, child, youth, young adult, adult, or senior adult, and whatever your race or ethnicity.  We are one in the Spirit, one in the Lord, and known as Christians by our love.  At least, that's what we try to be.  Participate with us in our ministry of love to Gouverneur and the world.

Call on God, call on God's holy Church, and you will find that God is an ever present source of help, and that the Church is here to do God's will.

Yours in the Love of Christ,

The Reverend Dr. Wilfred J. Baez
