Carterville First United Methodist Church

About this church

Carterville First United Methodist Church gathers for worship Sundays at 9:30 a.m., followed by Sunday School at 10:30. The service is primarily traditional, with occasional contemporary special music. Children are always welcome in the sanctuary; a child-friendly room called the Refuge allows parents to remain with a child while watching the service by livestream, and Kingdom Kids is offered for ages three through six during worship on the first Sunday of the month.

The main parking lot is behind the church, with several accessible spaces at the front, giving first-time visitors clear arrival options. Missions connect the congregation with service beyond its Pine Street building, while a senior ministry provides fellowship for older adults. The church calendar lists worship and other recurring activities and is the best place to check for special services. Families may want to time a visit for Kingdom Kids or simply use the Refuge as needed; both details make the congregation's welcome more concrete than a general claim of being family friendly.
