Opportunities to Serve
We can't do this without you.
The ministries and missions of Athens First United Methodist Church are made possible by the faithful servant leaders who give their time, gifts, and hearts to serve. If you're looking for a place to get involved, there's a place for you here.
We need your heart. We need your hands.
Each ministry area below highlights gifts and skills that may be especially helpful, but don't let that limit you. We encourage you to follow where God is leading you and explore opportunities that spark your interest, even if you don't see yourself fitting every description.
