First United Methodist Church of Eaton Rapids

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Eaton Rapids, often shortened to FUMER, worships at 600 S Main St in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Sunday brings two services: a traditional service at 9:00 a.m. and a casual service at 10:30 a.m., each lasting about an hour. The congregation belongs to the United Methodist tradition, and its website describes the worship, preaching, and church programs as Bible based and practical for everyday life. Services can be watched live on YouTube for anyone who cannot attend in person, and past sermons are posted on the site. Times can change, so confirm on the website before visiting.

The church is noted for its music program and its ministry to children. Newcomers can fill out an online connection card to introduce themselves, and a prayer chain takes requests by online form, phone, or email. A new member class is offered from time to time for those who want to learn about the church's history. The building is a brick church dating to 1880, with an educational wing and a later addition that holds a gym and full kitchen. Community groups such as Girl Scouts, Red Cross blood drives, and driver's training use the space, and pickleball is played in the gymnasium on weekdays. The church office is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 517-663-3524.
