I'm New

Visiting a church for the first time can be a scary experience. At Anniston First UMC, we value you as our guest and want your first visit with us to be as smooth as possible.  We are neither a small church nor a "mega-church ". We do not measure our success on "numbers". We want you to come through our doors to experience a loving God and loving people. 

Here at Anniston First, people come to worship in a variety of clothing styles. Some worshipers choose to wear nicer clothing; others come in jeans and t-shirts. There is no “correct” type of clothing. You are encouraged to come in clothing that you find comfortable and appropriate.

 

OUR PASTORAL STAFF: Pastor Dale Clem and Pastor Kyle Bryan. On Sundays you will find Pastor Dale and Pastor Kyle in all three services: The 8:15 Chapel service, the 9:00 Engage Service, and the 10:50 Sanctuary service.

Children & Nursery

Children of any age are welcomed in worship!

A nursery is available for Sunday School and all three services. (8:45 AM - 12:00 PM)   It is located on the first floor of Wesley Hall, room 108.
