F.A.Q's

Why do you have so many worship services? At Carson City 1st we have five different worship services so we can offer people different choices in the style of worship.

• Our 8:00 am. service is a blend of tradition and informality.



• At 9:30 am, there is a blend of traditional and contemporary styles held in our sanctuary.



• People looking for a more traditional and formal style can attend our 11:00 am. service.



• Those wanting a contemporary and informal worship experience can attend The Gathering at 5:00 pm.



• For those looking for a more meditative and quiet worship there is the Prayer and Song Service in the tradition of Taize and it takes place at 6:00 pm. on the first Sunday of each month.

Is the Gathering a different church? The Gathering is a new ministry of Carson City 1st UMC and is not a separate church. It is an alternative style of worship that is geared to the needs of today’s Northern Nevada families. The many ministries of Carson 1st UMC including Children’s Christian Education and Adult Life Groups are available to anyone who would like to participate. God is giving us such a wonderful opportunity:

"Your love for one another will prove to the world you are my disciples."

John 13:34-35

What makes the Carson City 1st UMC different from other churches? Like all Christian Churches we follow Jesus Christ our Lord. If anything makes us different it is our motto: “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.” The people at Carson City 1st UMC are diverse in their opinions on many religious, social and political matters. People don’t all have to think the same to belong here. Even though these people accept their differences they rejoice in being united in the Spirit of God’s love and their commitment to bringing this love into the community and the world.
