About
Welcome, to Edmond First!
At Edmond First, our worship is grounded in the liturgical tradition. We draw from a vast well of Christian practices, blending both modern and ancient elements to create a meaningful worship experience. As you step into our sanctuary, you’ll be greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere that exudes intimacy. Our congregation values the connections we have with one another, and we would be delighted to have you join us for worship.
What sets Edmond First apart is our unwavering belief in the fundamental importance of connecting people to God and their neighbors. We hold dear the top commandments Jesus emphasized in the Gospels – loving God and loving our neighbors. These commandments shape our priorities as a congregation, and we are committed to fulfilling them through various mission and service opportunities

Located just west of the University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond First has been a worshiping community since 1889. Our rich history is intertwined with the university, as our church building once hosted the first classes when we were situated nearby. This longstanding relationship with the academic community shapes our identity and drives our outreach efforts. (Learn more about Our History).
