Gadsden First United Methodist Church

About this church

Gadsden First United Methodist Church is a downtown congregation rooted at Fifth and Chestnut Streets and organized around sharing Christ, making disciples, serving people, and giving hope. Three worship settings, Sunday School, children’s and youth formation, an early learning center, small groups, missions, and practical service create several ways to enter church life. Its Celebration service is casual and contemporary, while the later Sunday gathering follows a traditional pattern.

Celebration worship begins Sunday at 9:00 a.m.; traditional worship is advertised at 10:55 on the homepage but rounded to 11:00 on the worship page. Both stream online. Children age four through fifth grade begin with their families and leave before the sermon for Children’s Church, with nursery care for children under three. Sunday School meets at 10:00. A relaxed Thursday service begins at 5:30 p.m. and lasts about thirty to thirty-five minutes. The youth page still prints older 8:45 and 6:30 worship references, so visitors should rely on the newer homepage and worship page. During August through May, grades six through twelve may arrive Wednesday at 5:15 for dinner and gym time before discussion from 6:00 to 7:00.
