Senior Adult Ministry

First United Methodist has an active Senior Adult Ministry. Members of the Caring Ministry regularly visit members of the church who are homebound or who live in nursing homes; church members regularly bring chapel services and Bible Study to nursing homes; and the Bus Ministry (see below) transports seniors to and from worship each Sunday morning. In addition, active seniors engage in plenty of outings and social events via the FIRSTS seniors group.
