First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church in Lake Wales gathers for worship every Sunday at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary on North Fifth Street, and the service is also streamed online through the church's Facebook page and YouTube channel. The congregation is part of The United Methodist Church and sits within the Florida Conference. The weekly bulletin posts the order of service and scripture readings, and the church office is open Monday through Thursday in the morning.

Midweek, a Bible study meets on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. in Room 103 to discuss the scripture for the coming Sunday, with an online option. Visitors are told to park in the grassy lot behind the building and enter through the back door. A sign language class meets on Friday mornings in the Fellowship Hall, and a senior group called GeriActives takes outings throughout the year. The church also runs First United Methodist Preschool, with a preschool chapel for children on Thursdays, and the site lists ministries for music, children, prayer, growth, care, and service. The congregation collects donations for community causes, and times are worth confirming on the website before visiting.
