First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church in Independence, Kansas, holds Sunday worship in the sanctuary at mid-morning, with Sunday school beginning at 9:15 a.m. The website lists the service at both 10:30 and 10:45 a.m. in different places, so it is worth confirming before a first visit. A second gathering takes place Wednesdays at 6 p.m. in the Wesley Center. Sunday services are streamed live, and past sermons are available online. The church sums up its purpose as coming to know God and going to love people.

The nursery, in the education building near the sanctuary, is staffed on Sunday mornings for babies through preschool age, and children are welcome in worship. Sunday school classes are offered for preschoolers and for kindergarten through fifth grade. Youth meet Sunday mornings at 9:30 for breakfast and discussion. Adults can join Bible study groups on Sunday mornings, the Methodist women's group on the first Wednesday of the month from September through May, or Crossway, a monthly gathering for young adults. Other ministries include outreach and a prayer shawl ministry. The church is at 200 S. Pennsylvania Avenue; call (620) 331-3840 for details.
