I want to welcome you to the First United Methodist Church of Middletown.  We are an inclusive church that personifies the United Methodist motto of "open hearts, open minds, open doors." The music ministry we have is exceptional, and we have a small but growing Sunday School.  We have an active adult Bible Study, and we offer adult book studies from time to time.   We are a diverse group in most every way.  We do not think alike - including theologically.  We invite people to think, but we do not tell them what to think.   After years of slow decline, we have turned the corner.  Our future is very bright.  We are learning how to share the Living Water of Christ with others.   Yours in Christ, Dr. Mark H. Chatterton, pastor
