This is the Kingdom’s logic: whoever wants to become great must first make himself a servant; whoever wants to be first must bind himself as a slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as the ransom for many.
Matthew 20:26-28 (The Voice)
Hudson First UMC is a special place marked by our love for God and our love for others. We serve. We are a serving community of faith. Hudson First has served the Hudson, Bayonet Point, Port Richey, and surrounding area for decades, generation after generation. Who we are can be felt in our core values. WE ARE:
- A Family That Loves Honestly — We are committed to a community where every person is valued, heard, and embraced — with authenticity, humility, and grace. We seek to model the love of Christ by treating one another with honesty and respect, even when it’s hard.
- Rooted in Scripture — We believe the Bible is inspired by God and central to everything we do — our worship, our discipleship, and our mission. Scripture shapes how we live, what we believe, and how we serve the world around us.
- Alive and Growing in Faith — We are a vibrant, ever-changing community committed to spiritual growth through small groups, prayer, Bible study, worship, and service. We believe transformation is ongoing — and we will keep finding new ways to deepen our lives with God together.
- Reaching Beyond Boundaries — We believe everyone deserves to experience God’s love — so we go to them, meeting people in Hudson and beyond exactly where they are. Our church is a place where everyone experiences the welcome and acceptance of Christ. No judgment. No conditions. Just the open, accepting love of Christ.
Partnership beyond our geographical location allows our reach to be local and global. It is because of partners like Florida United Methodist Foundation that we are able to properly steward the resources given to us in such a way that we believe pleases God. Heaven smiles here. We believe we have a very simple mission… Love God, Love Others, Love all to Jesus.
