VISITOR INFORMATION
Please visit our welcome desk in the Main Office where a greeter can assist you in learning more about First Church. You can also email our Director of Assimilation, Lacey Adair (LAdair@FUMCPensacola.com).
This Methodist congregation was founded in December of 1821. Now in 2022, we are marking an incredible 200+ years of worship and service in this great community! We are the oldest Protestant church in the area and the oldest Methodist church in Florida. It’s an historic church that preserves the past and embraces the future, and we are being called forward into a new era of mission and ministry. Come be a part of what God is doing here. There’s a place for everyone.

We also offer Assisted Parking for those needing special assistance.
