You get an answer.
What do I wear to church?
There is no dress code and you will see a variety of styles. In fact, you’ll find the Contemporary Sunday morning services quite casual. Some people attending the traditional services dress up, but others wear "workplace" or casual clothes.
What can I expect at your worship services?
We hope that nothing you experience at First United Methodist Church of Boca Raton will ever make you uncomfortable, but the "unknown" can make anyone a little uneasy. If you have any questions find one of the ushers.

Our 8:00 Traditional Service is our early morning worship gathering held in our East Campus Sanctuary. This intimate time of worship usually includes hymns accompanied by piano, a time of prayer, and a meaningful sermon preached by one of our pastors. If you are an early riser, we hope you will join this faithful group of worshipers as we lift up the name of Jesus.
Our 9:30 Contemporary Service is a large, informal gathering. This service meets at the East Campus in “The Gathering Place,” our multipurpose worship, fellowship and recreation space. Most Sundays include engaging worship music by our praise band and singers. You will also be able to hear a relevant sermon in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. We hope you will join us for a truly fun and meaningful worship experience!
