Indy First Free Methodist Church

About this church

First Free Methodist Church, known as Indy First, is on Tecumseh Street on Indianapolis's near east side and holds Sunday worship at 10:45 a.m. The service is also streamed live on Facebook at the same time. The church describes its aim in three words: belong to community, believe the Good News, and become like Jesus. The congregation is part of the Free Methodist tradition.

Midweek and weekday activity is a large part of the church's life. On Wednesdays from 6 to 7 p.m., a free All Church Dinner and Bible Study takes place in the fellowship hall on the Tecumseh Street side; children go to a kids lesson around 6:30 while adults hold a short Bible study. On Mondays, the Jesus Food Pantry distributes food from 10 to 11:30 a.m. to more than 80 households each week, with an optional worship service at 9:30 a.m. that is not required to receive food. Discipleship groups of four to six people meet weekly in eight-week cycles and serve together in the neighborhood once during each cycle. The church also keeps a community garden open to anyone who wants to help tend and harvest, and it planted a nonprofit called LYN House. Confirm schedules on the website.
