First Church Birmingham

About this church

First Church Birmingham, a United Methodist congregation at 518 19th Street North in downtown Birmingham, offers two worship services on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. The Sanctuary service is traditional and follows a liturgical rhythm of hymns, Scripture readings, choral and organ music, prayer, and a sermon. The Loft service is modern, with a band, a sermon, prayer, and projected video. Each lasts about an hour, and services are livestreamed. Visitors may wear anything from jeans to Sunday best. Free visitor parking is reserved in the back lot along 6th Avenue North, and Welcome Guides help newcomers find Sunday School and worship.

The nursery is staffed on Sunday mornings for children from 12 weeks through kindergarten, and City Kids offers programs for elementary-age children in the Education Building. The church follows the United Methodist Safe Sanctuaries policy for children's ministry. Students in grades 6 to 12 meet weekly and take part in confirmation, service trips, camps, and retreats. Adults can join Sunday School classes, Life Groups, Dinner Groups, and short-term small groups on Wednesday nights in the fall and spring. The church also runs Birmingham ELC, an early learning center. Confirm current service details on the website.
