First Methodist Church

About this church

First Methodist Church of Gatesville holds traditional Sunday worship at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m., with Sunday School at 9:30. The later service streams on Facebook. Worship follows a consistent Methodist order with hymns, congregational prayer, creeds, biblical preaching, and teaching. The congregation welcomes visitors without a special dress requirement and accepts baptisms from other Christian denominations when people seek membership.

During the school year, Wednesday dinner begins at 5:30 p.m. and children's and youth activities run until 7:30. IMPACT Youth serves grades six through twelve through worship, fellowship, service, and recreation, while children's programs, GEMS, Vacation Bible School, Mother's Day Out, and the Let's Grow Learning Center support younger families. Choirs, Bible study, Methodist Men, and outreach provide adult entry points. Guests can attend 8:30 for an earlier service or pair the 9:30 education hour with 10:30 worship; families should check the school-year calendar before planning around Wednesday programming.
