Who We Are
First Church Miami is a historic church with a fresh start that has gathered since Miami's founding. Alongside the city's flourishing, we have come to be motivated by the teachings of Jesus to do justice and love our neighbors. This has led First Church to be a site for integrated community organizing during the Civil Rights Movement, provide hot meals and showers to the unhoused for over forty years, seek to reconcile and affirm Queer lives, and act as a beacon of community engagement through Corner Coffee and Fifth & Biscayne Micro Gallery.
