About First United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon
First United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon has served the Franklin County community since 1855, beginning in the home of Joe Wylie Parchman and growing into the vibrant congregation that relocated to its current facility in 1985. The church is deeply committed to its mission of helping others follow Jesus through discipleship, with strong programming for children, youth, and adults across all life stages. Worship at First UMC emphasizes community, welcome, and spiritual growth, featuring free coffee and donuts before the 11:00 a.m. sanctuary service. The congregation provides a safe, nurturing environment through Ignite Kids programming for early childhood through fifth grade, a robust youth program, and numerous small groups and Sunday school classes designed to foster authentic faith and service. All volunteers working with children and youth have undergone background checks, reflecting the church's commitment to safe community spaces.
