First United Methodist Church of Tomah

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Tomah is a congregation with Methodist roots in the city reaching to 1854 and an organized church dating to 1856. Its present Butts Avenue church opened in 1965, with later expansion adding hospitality, small-group, staff, and accessible restroom space. Traditional worship, fellowship, online participation, pastoral services, mission, and community ministry continue that long local presence.

Sunday worship begins at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary with piano and congregational singing, and streams live on YouTube for later viewing. On fifth Sundays, worship instead begins at 8:30, an exception visitors need to check before arriving. A nursery with video feed is available, and fellowship takes place before and after worship. Communion information conflicts within the official site: the Sunday worship page says every Sunday, while another sacrament description says first and third Sundays. Both describe an open table using grape juice with gluten-free wafers available, but visitors should confirm the frequency. The corrected name adds Tomah to distinguish this church from thousands of identically named Methodist congregations while following the congregation’s own location-based identity.
