Smyrna First United Methodist Church

Smyrna First United Methodist Church Established over 170 years ago, we are committed to leading with Jesus and loving the person in front of us.

Established over 170 years ago we continue to grow in our love for God and in our love for one another. That is why we have chosen as our theme, “Loving one another to Christ”, and is based on I John 3: 11-18 and 4:7-12. It is out of that love that comes from God’s heart to our own that motivates us to go to the world in mission and in ministry to proclaim His love to all people. Every member of o

ur congregation is encouraged to grow in discipleship as we believe the closer we come to the heart of God, the more we grow in our understanding of how much we are loved by God and we are to love all people. We invite you to explore our church and learn about our ministries as they have been born out of the compassion God gives us and we share with the world.

KidsFirst wasn’t just the name of our Children’s Ministry during Covid — it also became the title of a video series we created to help our kiddos stay connected to their church family. Think Blue’s Clues with a biblical twist. We had a blast finding creative ways to engage our community… including the unforgettable episode where Pastor Derek answers tough questions (with show host, Taylor Gray) while sitting in a swimming pool. You can watch that one using the link below.

Sunday Celebrations: Today we welcomed Jamil Karim into membership during our 9am Classic Worship service. We are grateful to have him as part of our church family.

During our 11:15am service, we honored Mrs. Sheila McBrayer as she retires after forty years of faithful service to God and to Smyrna First United Methodist Church. A reception followed in celebration of her remarkable ministry. Her dedication has blessed generations, and her presence will be deeply missed.

Our God’s Light Youth Choir spent the day in Annapolis, Maryland. They worshiped at the US Naval Academy Brigade of Midshipmen Chapel and shared several musical selections during the service. We are proud of their witness and their continued ministry through music.

Next Sunday, June 7, will be Pastor Derek’s final Sunday with us as our senior pastor. We hope you will join us to hear him preach and to celebrate his ministry with a churchwide lunch following the 11:15am service. Please let us know you are coming for lunch by registering using link in LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/smyrnafumc
