Our Ministries

Our ministries stretch from our youngest members to our oldest, from those within our fellowship to those outside of our church in our community, from our friends to those we don't even know, from those with plenty to those who need our support and love.

The following will give you just a sample of our many ministries. Jesus told us to go into the world and minister to all people, and we here at Valdosta First United Methodist Church are trying to do just that in our own small way.

Adult Ministry

EMMAUS
The Walk to Emmaus® is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. To read more about this experience, click on the graphic below.
Following the walk, participants meet as members of a "reunion" group to challenge, encourage, and pray for each other. The goal is to take their Christianity into their many environments: family, work, and community. FUMC has many reunion groups, and we share in opportunities to meet with the entire Emmaus community on the last Saturday of each month. Watch for the meeting announcements on the "News and Events" page of this website.

If you are interested in the Emmaus experience, contact Rev. Diane Shedd at 242-4050 or email her at dsfumc@hotmail.com.

Merry Makers
Merry Makers is the name given to luncheon/entertainment events designed especially for our Seasoned Citizens. Merry Makers meets once a month. For more information, and for a schedule of upcoming events, visit our Seniors webpage.

Bible Studies
We offer a variety of Bible Studies. Watch for announcements in the "Glad Tidings," the Sunday bulletin, and on the News and Events webpage.

Adult Sunday School Classes
Currently, we have sixteen Adult Sunday School Classes to suit all needs, personalities, and interests. Small groups have always been an important part of the "Methodist" experience. For many of us, our Sunday School class is the small group with which we most closely identify. Become a member of one of our sixteen Adult Sunday School classes. Go to the Adult Sunday School webpage to read descriptions of each of these classes and their meeting locations.
