Whether you're a local or a visitor just passing through, come in and find out what we're about.
If you've never been in the downtown area, you should take the time to drive through it. We're only a couple blocks east of the majestic Capitol building at the corner of Monroe and Capitol Streets. This beautiful Methodist church is more than 100 years old and in the heart of historic downtown Jefferson City.
But while the setting, the building and the history are great, that's not what makes First United Methodist Church of Jefferson City worth visiting.
It's the people.
It's how God is active, real and alive in each ministry of the church.
First United Methodist Church is a welcoming community, growing in God's grace, seeking to be active followers of Jesus Christ. Worship with Us!

Got Kids?
Sunday Morning Children's Ministry - Babies and Toddlers
Nursery care is available for all children 3 years old and younger during all the Sunday morning worship services from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Located on the main level (second floor).
In the nursery we use the Quiet Call Nursery Paging system. This system loans parents a vibrating pager which discretely lets them know if they are needed in the nursery. Pagers are returned when children are picked up.
Children
Children are welcome in any worship service! Children's packets are available at the entrance to each service filled with activities to keep little hands busy. You will also find Children's Moments every other Sunday during the service for children to come forward and hear a lesson just for them. On the alternating Sundays, Children's Church is held in the Chapel. Children will be dismissed from the worship service after the prayer time in the 8:30 a.m. and 10:50 a.m. services. Children learn about the scripture of the day through storytelling, games and crafts. Children are brought back into worship for Communion at 8:30 a.m. At the 10:50 a.m. service children are picked up in the Chapel after the service is over.
