There's a corner in Syracuse where two streets meet—Wescott and Euclid—and something extraordinary happens there. At 920 Euclid Avenue, you'll find more than just a building. You'll find a living, breathing community of people who've discovered that faith isn't meant to be static, and mission isn't meant to be small.
We are Erwin First United Methodist Church, a dynamic network of disciples of Jesus Christ. But what does that really mean?
It means we're not content to simply maintain what we've always been. We aim to grow deeper in faith, to share what we are learning, to ask harder questions, and to find more profound answers. We gather not just out of habit, but out of hunger. A hunger to know God more fully, to understand the teachings of Jesus more completely, and to become the people we were created to be.
But depth without breadth is incomplete. That's why we're equally committed to growing wider in mission. We believe that authentic faith naturally expands outward, reaching beyond our walls and into the world that needs hope, healing, and help. Our mission isn't an afterthought—it's the inevitable overflow of hearts transformed by grace.
Here at the corner of Wescott and Euclid, we're building something that matters. We're creating a network where connections run deep and extend far. Where the person sitting next to you on Sunday might be the one serving alongside you at an outreach ministry. Where discipleship isn't a program but a way of life. Where everyone—regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey—can find a place to belong, to question, to grow, and to serve.
We won't promise you that following Jesus is easy. What we will promise is that you won't have to do it alone. In this dynamic network of disciples, you'll find companions for the journey—people who will celebrate your victories, support you through your struggles, and challenge you to become everything God intended.
So whether you're seeking deeper faith, yearning to make a wider impact, or simply looking for a community that takes both seriously, we invite you to find your place here with us. Because at Erwin First United Church, we're not just occupying space at the corner of Wescott and Euclid.
We're changing lives. We're transforming communities. We're growing disciples.
And there's room in this network for you.
