About Us

At First United Methodist, we have decided to Rethink Church. We are part of a unique global denomination that sees the church as more than just a building; we live our faith. The United Methodist Church has many doors through which people pass. We have a presence on every continent in the world and have a parish in every county in the United States. Please take time to explore our website. We would love to meet you! And remember, our hearts, our minds, and our doors are always open!

Scripture for Today

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” - 1 John:18 NIV

Spring storms ravaged the South. Donate today to the domestic disaster response fund of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). 100% of your donation goes straight to those affected, because all operating and administrative costs are covered by a special, separate offering we do once a year.
