Locals often identify the First United Methodist Church as "the church across the street from the golf course." The First United Methodist Church as it stands today has been serving Westborough since 1965, but its roots in town date back to 1858, when it served the community from the current New Hope Chapel building. The congregation totals over 1,000 in number with an estimated 400 people attending worship services each Sunday. Sunday services take place at 9am, 10:30am and 5:30pm.
