First United Methodist Church Marion

About this church

First United Methodist Church Marion now worships at 5050 Rec Drive, rather than the older Seventh Avenue address in the directory. Sunday services are held at 8:15 and 10:15 a.m.: the earlier gathering is traditional, while the later one uses a contemporary format. Children's Pathfinders programming begins at 8:15 with all ages together for Bible teaching and activities, plus nursery and preschool options for the youngest children.

The congregation combines Methodist worship with hands-on service in Marion and farther afield. Its Feeding Lunches to Youth program addresses local food needs, while mission teams respond to disasters and support international work such as the church's Honduras partnership. The 4:12 youth ministry welcomes students in grades five through twelve on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. during the school year for worship, Scripture, fellowship, and fun. Visitors can choose between distinct worship styles, but families should check which children's programs accompany each hour and confirm school-year dates before planning a Wednesday visit.
