"What can I wear if I attend your worship service?"

Casual dress is accepted at Fulton First United Methodist church.  Many of our members do not dress up in "suits."  

"Will I be 'pointed out' as a visitor if I come to the church for service?"

No, you will not be announced as a visitor to the church, but you will be welcomed at the door and given any assistance you require.  We will not single out individuals or families who come and worship with us.  We do welcome everyone and understand each person has reasons for coming.  We will respect your privacy as much as you want us to. 

"Is there a nursery for my young children?"

Yes.  Nursery is provided at all church activities.

"Is you Communion Service only for your United Methodists?"

No.  Our Communion is open to everyone.  We serve Communion on the first Sunday each month at the Sunday Worship Service.  Our Outreach ministry can also serve persons in our community who cannot get to the church for the service.

"If I am not a church member, can I attend Sunday School and other group activities?"

Yes.  All are welcome to learn more about the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  You do not have to be a member to experience God's love in any group we have that fits you.

"Do I have to be a church member to sing in your choir?"

No.  The choir practices on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m., just come to the practice and see how you feel.  You do not need to read music, but you will probably learn after a while.  Our choir director Mark is very good and produces beautiful music full of Spirit.

"What groups can use your facilities?"

Sunday School classes and groups related to church activities use the facilities without charge.  Other organizations wanting to use the facilities must be accepted and scheduled through the Church Office.  These groups will be asked for a $25 donation (excludes use of the kitchen and Willingham Center).  We ask for a $35 donation for kitchen use, and if used to prepare meals for which tickets are sold we ask for $50. Custodial fee of $25 applies to all groups unless exempt by Church Office.  Activities lasting all day, a $100 donation applies. The Willingham Center may be rented for birthday parties or other group activities for a nominal fee, contact the Center at 270-472-3510 for information.  Please check with the Church Office, 270-472-3514, for a copy of "Guidelines for Organizations" for detailed requirements.

"Can I have my wedding in your church if I am not a member?"

Yes.  There is no charge for use of the Sanctuary when the bride and/or groom or their immediate family are members of our own congregation.  For non-members a $500 deposit will be paid prior to rehearsal, which $250 will be refunded after a satisfactory inspection has been made of the areas used.  Other fees apply for custodian, sound operator, and organist as needed.  Please contact the Church Office, 270-472-3514, for a copy of "Policies for Weddings" for complete details.
