Getting involved is what Jesus calls us to do. Here at First United Methodist Church, the opportunities for involvement are many and varied. You're welcome to join us on Sunday mornings for worship and educational offerings.

Perhaps you would rather serve through helping to build a house through either our local or global housing ministry, or working in the Food Pantry.

If you like to work with youth, consider being a confirmation mentor or traveling with youth on an Appalachia Mission Trip.

If you'd like to 'make a joyful noise,' consider joining one of our choirs.

No matter how you'd like to share your time, your talent or your resources, or live your spiritual journey, we hope you'll join with us as we answer Christ's call.

If you have an idea for a new ministry or small group that you’d like to help start and/or coordinate, please contact the church office to speak with a staff member about how to go about doing it.
