An Outreach... Wellington United Methodist Fellowship
As the Northern Colorado region continues to expand, it is important that our church find ways reach out to new communities and families in the area. In October 2007, First United Methodist Church began working with the Rocky Mountain Conference to establish a new United Methodist church in Wellington. In July 2009, Pastor Susan Warren was appointed as full-time pastor to Wellington United Methodist Fellowship. Each day, Wellington Fellowship grows -- in people, in service and in faith. We welcome your participation in this exciting time of growth in the church and hope you can help us to spread the word with your friends and neighbors. Come see what's new in Wellington!
