Northport Methodist Church

About this church

Northport Methodist Church, shown on its website as Northport First Methodist Church, is a historic congregation at 700 Main Avenue in Northport, Alabama, established more than 150 years ago. Sunday mornings begin with Sunday School at 9 a.m. in the Education Building, with classes for ages six weeks through adult, followed by worship in the sanctuary. The pages reviewed do not list the worship hour, so visitors should call the office at (205) 758-4703 or check the website to confirm it. Communion is offered in the sanctuary service on the first Sunday of each month, and children from kindergarten up begin worship with their families.

Children in kindergarten through third grade leave partway through the service for Children's Worship, which rotates through crafts, music, play and object lessons. Kids Praise, a children's choir for kindergarten through fifth grade, meets for devotion, games, a snack supper and music. Students in grades 6 through 12 gather for a Sunday small group at 9 a.m. Wednesday evenings feature a home-cooked meal and short devotional in the church, though schedules can change. Other groups include Methodist Women, Methodist Men, a chancel choir, Bible study, and mission work in Jamaica and across the Gulf South, plus support for local nonprofits. Children's ministry staff and volunteers complete background checks and safety training.
