Youth in 6th through 12th grades are welcome to be a part of 1st Youth. This is a community devoted to God, excited to serve, open to new and different people and eager to make anything fun. Throughout the year there are regular weekly meetings and special get togethers aimed at building fellowship and community.

Sunday School

Sunday School is an integral part of the faith journey and it's a long standing tradition at 1st UMC. The Sunday School time each week is from 9:15 am until 10:30. There are classes for children ages 3 to 103 (or even older Alternate Grinning Face).

Adult Sunday School Classes

Children's Sunday School Classes

If you need more information on Sunday School classes you can also email info@1stchurch.org.

Nursery Services

Nursery Services are now available on Sunday mornings and on Wednesday Evenings. They are available for children ages 3 and under.

Small Group Studies

Whether it's one of our Lenten Studies, an in-depth discussion about a social justice issue or an Adam Hamilton Bible Study, small groups are an integral part of the faith journey. While most studies have been online the past year, we are hoping in-person studies will resume soon. Groups like United Methodist Women, our men's groups and even a knitting group round out ways you can be a part of a small group at 1st UMC.
