First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church in Lexington offers an informal early service at 8:45 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall and morning worship at 11:00 in the sanctuary. The Alive! Praise Band normally leads the early service on selected Sundays, while the later gathering follows a sanctuary setting. The congregation’s mission connects making disciples with loving God and neighbors, showing mercy, seeking justice, and sharing God’s love in the community.

Child care for infants through age four is available during both worship hours. At 11:00, children are invited forward for a dedicated moment before kindergarten through second grade may leave for an age-appropriate experience. The church’s history reaches back to an 1833 Methodist property in Lexington, although later congregational moves and a fire shaped its present story. A first-time family should decide between the informal and sanctuary services and arrive early for nursery directions. Recent worship can be previewed on YouTube. Praise-band Sundays, special children’s plans, and community events vary, so confirm the calendar for the intended date.
