First United Methodist Church of El Dorado exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by changing lives, developing leaders, and sharing Christ. To us, being a disciple means following Jesus by engaging in spiritual practices to worship, grow, give, serve and share. These five characteristics make up our discipleship pathway; following are a list of opportunities associated with our pathway to help each individual continue to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our church has an outstanding selection of book available for your use in the library. You can browse the library from your home using the firstumceldorado library | TinyCat link and even place a hold. When you come into the library to pick up the book, please remember to check the material out using the procedure located by the computer.
