Welcome to the First United Methodist Church of Owosso, Michigan. We are a Christian church dedicated to reaching the lost and helping the saved move toward spiritual maturity. Join us for service this Sunday at 10:00 am.
The faith journey of First United Methodist Church goes back over 187 years, when the Methodist Circuit was created. The first Methodist sermon was delivered in Owosso in 1835. Eleven faithful members lived out their faith in a church from a small frame school house in 1840. By 1888 the exceptional ministries of these faithful greatly expanded the congregation and a new church was built. Faithful members worked to share the love of Christ in their Community. By 1950, more parking and worship space was necessary. Fundraising started and soon the current church was built, dedicated to God, and inhabited by followers of Jesus Christ. Their goal; to share the Gospel. Throughout the years, the faithful members and friends of First United Methodist Church worked to serve the people of Owosso and beyond. Today members are continuing to carry on that rich heritage of the faithful saints that were here before them. Imperfect humans that we all are, the people of First United Methodist Church are dedicated to living into their mission statement, to be Christ-centered, a welcome and loving environment, service-oriented, and respectful of ALL creation.

Noah’s Ark Children’s Center (NACC) is a Childcare and Preschool program sponsored by the Owosso First United Methodist Church and is operated by a Board of Directors elected by the church and its Director, Mary Jo Pouillon. We offer non-discriminatory care for children ages 2 weeks-12 years old, with busing to and from Owosso Public Schools for K-5 graders.
Young children who come to NACC get the tools and support they need for their healthy development and for school success. All activities and our beautiful environments are carefully designed to adequately nurture the emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and physical growth of each child. Through stimulating lessons and hands-on learning opportunities, children are free to develop into bright young minds. NACC strives to foster curious, courageous, and kind children who will grow up to be productive members of society. We also offer a weekly Music class, a bi-monthly Chapel time with Pastor Mona, and a monthly Story Hour for our enrolled children. We host a Christmas concert (typically the first Friday in December) and Noah’s Ark Sunday (a spring concert, typically in April).
NACC is licensed by the State of Michigan and participates in Michigan’s Great Start to Quality evaluation program. We also participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program and offer nutritious, homemade meals and snacks (with an on-site cook) at no additional cost.
Our PreK program goes above and beyond to prepare four and 5-year-olds for kindergarten success. We even offer a FREE (Sept-May) GSRP PreK program for qualifying families.
