Welcome to Decatur First United Methodist Church

We’re glad you found us! We are a caring congregation, supportive of one another and active in service with our community and world. The people in our congregation are like you – trying to find the time and energy to fit everything in each week and keep life in balance. That’s why we set aside time every week to worship God. At First United Methodist, we believe that it is essential to deepen our understanding of God, the Bible, and God’s will for our lives. In our Bible studies and worship, both young and old learn principles for successful living that work not only on Sundays but every other day of the week as well.

Come as you are. Come check us out. We look forward to meeting you.

We encourage all visitors to stop by the Welcome Center (top of the steps at the North Street doors) before or after church and get more information about our church. There will be someone there to answer any questions you may have.

Our Mission is
to develop followers of Jesus Christ, who reach out in faith, hope and love.

Our Vision is
to work together to reach and raise the next generation of Christian leaders.
