The first step to connecting and learning more about FFUMC is to stop by our Welcome Desk in the main hall on Sundays or by attending our “First Steps” coffee that is hosted periodically. We will answer any questions you may have and help you get connected into the many ways of serving and growing in your faith journey.  If you would like more information about finding your place here at FFUMC, please email the church office at admin@ffumc.org.

Next, you are invited to participate in “next steps” which may include participating in a six-week group study using “Disciple’s Path.” This six-week group will address theological and practical questions about membership within First Farragut and the United Methodist Church in general. While membership of FFUMC is encouraged, it is not required to fully participate in the life of the congregation.
If you were baptized as an infant or young child and have not made a profession of faith and been confirmed, then you will prepare to profess your faith when you take the membership vows (after participating in Disciple’s Path). If you are a member of another church, then you may transfer your membership from that church to a local United Methodist Church. If you are a member of another Christian church that does not transfer membership, we will honor your journey and receive your membership as a reaffirmation of faith, and you will be received as a member. When joining a United Methodist Church, the new member promises to support the Church with his/her prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Feel free to talk with First Farragut UMC’s Pastor about becoming a member of the church. She will be able to answer your questions and help you discern your next steps to take.

First Farragut United Methodist Church celebrates an “open” table. All who wish to receive the sacrament are invited to do so, regardless of denominational affiliation or church membership. Gluten-free elements are available on the altar for those who need it. We also welcome children to participate.

We are dedicated to a partnership with parents to lead their children in the exploration of Christian faith by giving parents the tools to carry conversations of faith outside the walls of the church. We offer two Children’s opportunities on Sunday mornings. Kid’s Grow at 9:30 and Kid’s Worship at 10:30. Please visit our children and family page here for more details.

First Farragut United Methodist Church offers exciting youth ministry opportunities for Middle School and High School students to connect with other young people in large and small group settings at 4:00 pm on Sunday nights.  Please visit our youth page here for more details and upcoming events.

If you have other questions, or need help getting connected, please contact us.

John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as “practical divinity” has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.  We invite you to learn more about our rich theological heritage.
