About this church
Sunday worship at Selmer First United Methodist Church begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by Sunday School at 10:45. The congregation's official history traces Methodist gatherings in the area to the nineteenth century, including an 1896 brick church, a larger building completed in 1927, and the later move to its present campus. That continuity gives the church a clear local identity: it is not simply a generic Methodist listing, but a congregation shaped alongside Selmer over several generations. Its published beliefs and ministries place worship, biblical learning, prayer, and service within the Methodist tradition.
Children and teenagers have age-specific ways to participate. Youth meet Sunday at 9:45 a.m. and Wednesday at 6 p.m.; children's pages describe Sunday learning and the midweek His Kids program, though families should confirm the current His Kids hour before attending. Adult classes, music, prayer, and service ministries create additional points of connection. The church also works with Jesus Cares, a shared community-assistance ministry that helps qualified neighbors with needs such as utilities, rent, and support for people traveling through the area. For a first visit, the 9:30 worship service is the dependable starting point, with education immediately afterward. Anyone seeking children's midweek programming or financial assistance should contact the relevant ministry first, since eligibility, schedules, and available help can change.
