First Methodist Church of Opelika

About this church

First Methodist Church of Opelika offers Sunday worship at 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Both services begin with welcome, hymns, prayer, Scripture, and a Christ-centered message. Children stay for the opening portion before being invited to a dedicated Kids Ministry setting, though they are also welcome to remain with their families. Attire ranges from jeans to business casual and traditional Sunday clothing, with no stated dress code.

The congregation’s mission is to invite the community into a Spirit-led life in Jesus through Scripture, prayer, faith formation, and service. Ministries intentionally invest in children, students, college participants, young adults, and older adults. First Methodist calls its approach “awakened tradition,” honoring Methodist heritage while remaining attentive to the Holy Spirit. Guests are not expected or pressured to give during worship. A first-time family can choose either service, arrive early enough to learn the children’s dismissal process, and keep children in the sanctuary if preferred. Sermon recordings offer a helpful preview of teaching before an in-person visit.
