Adult's Ministry

Let’s Go! Fellowship Group

This ministry is designed by those who participate in it to create an atmosphere of fun, fellowship and service for anyone who wants to connect more deeply around areas of interest. Monthly outings to local and out-of-town venues are planned. Service projects and other social events are coordinated based on the varied interests of the participants.

United Methodist Men

Second Saturday of the month

The Methodist Men are a group of fellows that feel called to be a part of the life of the church behind the scenes. The men work with church members in need of handy-man-type assistance as well as working on projects in the community.  They also have "work" projects from the church Trustees.  UMM meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at 8:30 am for breakfast, 9 am for the meeting, and projects to follow if needed.  They extend a personal invitation to all Methodist Men to come and enjoy breakfast and find ways that they might use their God-given talents to serve others.  Contact our church office to learn more: 228.863.0047.

This is a faith community that works every day to love God and to love others. It is inviting and open to everyone regardless of who you are, where you are from or where you have been. Those qualities are reflected in the preaching, the programs and the outreach.

First United Methodist Church was my spiritual home when I lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Pastor Claire Dobbs and the team made everyone feel welcome. The team went above and beyond to provide a engaging worship, fellowship, and discipleship experiences, and their service to the community is a model that we all should strive to follow.

Wonderful church that is active in service to our community. My family and I are so thankful that we decided to try this church out 11 years ago. Claire and Jill do a great job leading us and the people are welcoming and willing to serve!

I love being a member of FUMC. Everyone is so welcoming and it’s easy to plug in. People don’t judge when you walk in the door. Our church really has a “come as you are” attitude, and I think that’s my favorite part. I love our pastors and music team as well!

I came to FUMC about 12 years ago thanks to a friend, and I am so thankful I did. The two pastors, Claire and Jill, are absolutely amazing! They make you feel welcomed, valued, and engaged from the moment you arrive. If you’re looking for a church home where you are truly loved for who you are, this is your place. God’s love abounds here!
