The Rev. Marilyn Kasperek
We are happy to announce that, effective September 1, 2025, The Reverend Marilyn J. Kasperek has been appointed to serve as pastor of Batavia First UMC. Her appointment to Batavia First is in addition to her current role as pastor of Oakfield United Methodist Church.
Pastor Marilyn is a graduate of United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. Her past work includes being Director of Communications for the Western NY Region of the United Methodist Church for over 25 years. And, fun fact, Pastor Marilyn also owns the Akron Bugle in Akron, NY!
Pastor Marilyn enjoys playing the flute, sewing, gardening and reading. She and her late husband have three adult daughters and seven grandchildren.
We welcome you, Pastor Marilyn. We look forward to getting to know you and to learning what great things God has in store for us together.
Our Mission & Vision
To be disciples we must listen, learn, lead and love our way to God.
Worship
We invite you to worship with us every Sunday morning in the church sanctuary, or by following the service live on Facebook.
Worship begins at 9:30am.
Children’s Sunday school takes place during our worship service and nursery care is available during the service as well.
Mittens Collection
Once again this year Batavia First United Methodist Church is collecting mittens and winter hats and gloves to be distributed in preparation for the cold winter months ahead. The items collected will be placed throughout area parks with a note saying that they are the finder’s to keep or pass along to someone who needs them.
If you wish to contribute to this mission project, please bring your donations of mittens, winter hats and gloves to the church before the middle of November. Items may be new or gently used and they may be purchased from a store or homemade.
