Sunday School

Join us every Sunday at 9:00 AM for Sunday School. We have classes from nursery through adult. Come to study, learn, and grow with us.

Small Groups

There are four small groups. They meet in the homes of members or at the church. Three groups meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM. The other meets on Tuesday morning from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Each group does short-term studies and discusses the bible and relevant topics. This is the place where bonds are made, faith grows, and ministry happens.

United Methodist Men  (UMM)

We have a very active Men's group. We meet monthly on the first Saturday at 8:30 AM for fellowship and devotion. After our time together, we normally have a work project to follow. We have an annual golf fundraiser, spaghetti dinner, retreat to the mountains or beach, and so much more. Join us for friendship and fellowship..

Sisters in Faith (SIF)

We meet regularly to fellowship, eat, laugh, and pray. In our meetings, we do Bible study, crafts, and so much more. We host an annual BBQ fundraiser on "Parade Day" in December. We give out free hot dogs at "Light Up Granite Falls" in November. We support many mission organizations as well. We are a mission-minded organization of First United Methodist Church. Plan to join us.

Youth And Children

Here at First United Methodist Church of Granite Falls, our goal is to teach and learn of the love and grace that God has given to all. We support each other the way God has taught us to support and work with others. As the scripture says, “God will be our sure foundation.” A building with no foundation will surely start to fall. Our life, our time here on earth, is the same principle. Christ is our foundation and what builds us up; without it, our lives will slowly start to lean and eventually fall over. That’s what we are about at FUMCGF. We help build each other up to make sure we will stand strong.

Come join us in our fellowship hall Sundays from 4:30pm-6:00pm! We can’t wait to meet you!
