We worship a God of abundance who rejoices when we are generous at any time, any place, and to anyone. Whatever you feel your next step is with generosity, we hope you’ll take the journey with us. Know that no matter how you give or how much you give: every gift matters. Because every giver matters. And you matter at FUMCB.

Sunday, Oct. 25 | Both Worship Services

We will celebrate our giving during worship. You are invited to bring your intention to give form to worship or fill out our confidential online form.


A note from Matt & Amanda Upshaw

“One of the things we love most about First United Methodist is the commitment to being rooted in downtown Bloomington through local ministries and physical presence. This commitment isn’t always easy and is often costly in one way or another. But the church’s continued presence here is an expression of its incarnational theology. For that reason (and many more), FUMCB is where our hearts will always be.

First Methodist’s 2027 Budget

Our 2027 proposed budget is $1.46 million, which is a 3% increase over 2026. We seek to be faithful stewards of the resources you entrust to our church. We hope you will prayerfully consider taking the next step in generosity, whether that be increasing your gift, the regularity with which you give, or making an intention to give for the first time. We are blessed by your generous support!
