Something new is coming!

Thanks for visiting First United Methodist Church, Tuscaloosa! We're currently building a new website to better serve our community. In the meantime, here are a few things you need to stay connected. Be sure to also follow along on Instagram and Facebook for daily updates!

Connections

Sundays at 9:00 AM in the Sanctuary
Our Connections Service is held in the sanctuary and features a relaxed atmosphere with a blend of familiar hymns, uplifting music, and conversational preaching that meets you right where you are. We share in prayer, Scripture, and fellowship in a way that invites authentic connection with God and each other. Come and be part of a community growing together in faith and ready to live it out in the week ahead.

Our Traditional Service is surrounded by the rich sounds of organ and choir. You’ll encounter timeless hymns, heartfelt prayer, and Scripture-centered preaching that speaks to life today. Our sanctuary offers a sacred space where people of all ages gather to connect deeply with God and one another. Come and join a tradition that inspires faith today and shapes the hope we carry into tomorrow.
Bridge

Sundays at 11:00 AM in Chitwood Hall
Our Contemporary Service offers a vibrant atmosphere filled with modern worship music, creative teaching, and artistic elements that draw us closer to Jesus. Through music, Scripture, and innovative expressions of faith, we celebrate God’s grace in ways that speak to life today. This welcoming gathering is open to all—come as you are and discover a place to grow, belong, and be inspired for the week ahead.

Sunday Mornings at FUMCT

Sunday School
At 10:00 AM, between our morning services, we gather for Sunday School—a time to explore God’s Word, ask questions, and grow together in faith. Classes are available for every age, so the whole family can join in. Whether you’re brand new or have been coming for years, you’ll find a welcoming place to learn, share, and connect. For more information, contact Amy Howard.

Kids at FUMCT
We love having children in worship! Kids are welcome to stay with you in any service, or they can enjoy age-specific programs designed just for them.

Nursery & Preschool Care – Safe, nurturing care is available during every worship service.
Elementary Programs – Fun and engaging activities are offered during the 11:00 AM service, along with Sunday School for all ages at 10:00 AM.

Whether your child is a newborn, a preschooler, or in elementary school, there’s a place where they can feel loved, make friends, and grow in their faith. Feel free to contact Nicole Burkhalter with any questions or concerns.

Wednesday Night Small Groups

Join us Wednesday nights starting at 5:00 PM for Wednesday Night Alive (WNA), a weekly service designed to feed your body and your spirit. We kick off each evening with a delicious dinner, providing the perfect opportunity to connect with friends and family in fellowship. Following dinner, we offer a variety of discipleship classes, allowing you to deepen your faith, grow in your understanding of the Bible, and connect with others in a small-group setting.
