Methodist Women
The members of First Methodist Women raise approximately $20 million each year for programs and projects related to women, children, and youth throughout the United States and in more than 100 countries worldwide.
The women of Fort Payne First Methodist Church have a history of supporting many local projects such as the Back-To-School Fair, Youth Christmas Mission, Embrace Alabama Kids, Kelly’s Rainbow, a local domestic violence shelter, Serving Our Savior Ministry, Vacation Bible School, and World Missions. They also have the honor of awarding scholarships to recipients through the money raised annually.
First Methodist Women welcomes all who have committed themselves to our purpose: to be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and experience freedom through Jesus Christ and to develop fellowship supporting various mission projects through the Global Methodist Church.
Christian Fellowship Sub-Group
The Christian Fellowship Sub-Group is compromised of mainly senior women. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 10:00am in Cobble Hall. (March-November). New members are always welcome! Our group has one of the best attendance records for the church and we enjoy the fellowship with each other while growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Susanna Wesley Sub-Group
The Susanna Wesley Sub-Group is compromised by ladies who have reached the “empty nest” time in their lives. We are developing a creative, supportive fellowship with other Methodist women and our main goal is to get to know and support one another. We participate in church ministries by raising money, praying, and assisting in our church’s various mission projects. Meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of each month at 6:00pm in Cobble Hall.
AGAPE Sub-Group
The Agape Sub-Group is a diverse group of women. From stay-at-home moms to full-time working moms. We gather once a month to discuss serving opportunities in our church and surrounding communities. We also use this time to fellowship with women in our church. We enjoy laughing, eating, and talking about how we can make an impact for Christ. Meetings are held the 1st Tuesday of every month at 6:00pm in Cobble Hall. (September – May).
Women’s Small Group
Our Women’s Small Group meets on Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm in the library. We complete multiple studies throughout the year
and enjoy fellowship.
