Franklin First United Methodist Church

Franklin First United Methodist Church You are invited to join us as we explore God’s Word and reach out to serve our neighbors. Making Disciples. Building Christian Community. Transforming Lives.

At Franklin First, we find purpose by opening ourselves to God’s love and mission. There are so many options in life calling for our attention. We can constantly be asking ourselves, “Should I look into this? Will I fit in? What can I expect if I visit?” All good questions to consider. Franklin First is a modest-sized church that has a family feel. We have a few main goals: 1) to grow in our faith

journey, whether we are seasoned believers or just getting started 2) to welcome new friends, and 3) to serve our community by being the hands and feet of Jesus. We believe that the Lord doesn’t care what we wear or what our background is. God is waiting for each of us to respond to his unconditional love. When we say “yes” to God, we begin a process of growth that continues our entire life. In this fellowship of faith, we worship, study, pray and serve together. By sharing this journey, we claim our identity as a child of God and become a supportive family. You are welcome at Franklin First. God is waiting to welcome you, and so are we. Join us for worship this weekend! Sunday Worship

We live in a filtered world where everyone is putting their best, most edited foot forward. But let's be honest: people aren’t looking for plastic faith or flawless illusions. They are looking for real, authentic human beings who admit they don’t have all the answers. When we pretend to be perfect, we actually push people away. It's time to trade perfection for connection. 🌟

From “resting their eyes” during the game to making us laugh with legendary dad jokes—today we celebrate dads! 🙌

But beyond the humor, their steady love points us to the heart of God.

👉 Check out this Father’s Day reflection

Happy Father’s Day to all the men who have mastered the art of "resting their eyes" while the game is on, those who have a designated spot for every tool they own (and no one dare move one), and those who believe a "quic...

On Juneteenth, we remember the long journey toward freedom and honor the resilience, faith, and hope of those who endured. ❤️💛💚 As people of faith, we’re called to learn from history, seek justice, and carry hope for a more loving and equitable future.

Take a moment to reflect and be encouraged by this powerful message.

Lori brought a moving perspective to a timeless promise this Sunday with her special music selection, "The New 23rd." In the middle of a busy week, let this beautiful melody be a reminder to pause, breathe, and rest in His grace.

📱 What if your next comment or post provided a spiritual lift?

Our digital platforms can be so much more than a distraction—they’re a space for connection, encouragement, and digital discipleship. We're called to bring grace and light into every conversation.

Today's challenge: Before you log off, find one person to encourage. Send a prayer, share a verse, or just let them know they're seen. 🤍 Let’s fill our feeds with grace!
