At Montevallo First United Methodist Church, there are many meaningful ways to grow in faith and serve alongside others. Congregants are invited to connect through Sunday School class and to share their musical gifts in the Choir. Those with a heart for outreach can support our community through Back-Pack-Buddies, providing food for local children in need, or join the Missions Team in hands-on service projects. Our Care and Contact Team and Prayer Paracletes offer compassionate support and prayer for members of our church family, while various Support Committees help guide the ministry and daily operations of the church. In addition, our Library Resources provide materials for spiritual growth, and groups such as the United Methodist Women (UMW) and United Methodist Men (UMM) offer fellowship, service, and discipleship opportunities. Together, these ministries provide a welcoming place for everyone to find their calling and make a difference.
