First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Pontiac offers traditional and contemporary worship separated by an education hour for children and adults. The early service uses choir, piano, organ, Scripture, sermon, and a children’s message, while the later gathering has a relaxed atmosphere and a worship band mixing newer and traditional songs. Mission, backpack assistance, tutoring, prayer shawls, children’s ministry, and youth help the congregation connect Sunday worship with care for the community.

The previous week’s service airs Sunday at 8:00 a.m. on WJEZ 98.9. Traditional worship begins at 8:30, with Communion on the first Sunday and other special occasions. Sunday School for preschool through adults runs from 9:30 to 10:30, followed by contemporary worship at 10:30 with weekly Communion. The church practices an open table. Nursery care for children age five and younger is available during both services and the education hour near Fellowship Hall. Prekindergarten through fifth-grade classes begin together in Fellowship Hall, while youth in sixth grade and older meet on the third floor. Because the radio program is a rebroadcast rather than a third live service, listeners planning an in-person visit should choose 8:30 or 10:30. Summer special music replaces the Sanctuary Choir’s usual early-service leadership.
