First-Centenary United Methodist Church

About this church

First-Centenary United Methodist Church offers three Sunday morning choices at 419 McCallie Avenue in Chattanooga. Traditional Sanctuary worship meets at 8:30 and 10:45 a.m., while The Vine holds a contemporary service at 10:45. The church publishes separate livestream links for both styles, and its traditional service also reaches local television later Sunday. Because sermon themes and occasional evening programs change by date, the current worship page is the best source for a specific week. Sunday School for children, youth, and adults runs from 9:30 to 10:30 between the Sanctuary services.

The congregation’s phrase “many hearts, one purpose” points to a mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ and building a healthy, diverse community in greater Chattanooga. First Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade with varied learning styles, professional nursery staff, secure electronic check-in, and activities tied to the church year. Students in grades six through twelve gather through Sunday School, midweek Bible studies, leadership, and special events. A distinctive weekday ministry is ABIDE, which meets from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday in the Oak Street Center. It gives people affected by Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia friendship, music, movement, art, intergenerational activity, and service projects while caregivers receive respite. The church also trains lay visitors to maintain friendships with members who cannot attend regularly.
