Welcome to First Wausau!
If you are looking for a community of faith where questions are welcome, honesty is expected, children can wiggle and giggle, and joy is multiplied, you will fit in well at First Wausau! We are Wausau’s first and oldest congregation, and for over 175 years we have worked to bridge the past, present, and future to connect more people with each other and God’s love in Christ.
As a United Methodist congregation, we live by three historic rules: Do no harm, Do good, and Stay in love with God. Our faith is grounded in Scripture, interpreted by tradition, reason, and experience, and flourishes as we put our beliefs into loving action. Our local church is especially known for serving the downtown (and beyond!) and our inspiring worship and music. We are a community for all, and welcome people of all ages, nations, races, abilities, identities, and you!
