First Methodist Monroe is a vibrant, independent conservative Methodist church rooted in the Wesleyan tradition, located in Monroe, LA.

Our passion is to grow in Christ through dynamic worship, deep fellowship, and faithful study, fostering a community devoted to living out our faith together.

We offer diverse worship experiences to connect with God and one another:

• Traditional Worship (8:30am 11am Sundays): Rich in Methodist heritage, featuring hymns, liturgical readings, and Holy Communion on the first Sunday of

each month, creating a reverent atmosphere for spiritual reflection.

• Contemporary Worship (9am 11am Sundays): A lively, modern experience with Christian praise music, powerful prayer, and relevant preaching, designed to

inspire and uplift.

• Worship on the Bayou (7am Sundays, May-Sept.): A unique outdoor service blending traditional and contemporary elements in a serene setting, fostering a

deep connection with God’s creation.

Our commitment to growing in Christ extends beyond worship. We emphasize:

• Small Groups and Bible Studies: Weekly gatherings, including Wednesday night studies (5pm supper, 6pm studies), where we explore scripture, share faith,

and build community.

• Community Engagement: Through events like the Marriage Refresh Conference, The Narrow Road 5K/10K, and Christmas for the Children, we serve and

connect with our local community.

• Youth and Children’s Ministries: Programs like RISE Youth and Kingdom Kids nurture young hearts in faith, ensuring every generation grows closer to Christ.

At First Methodist Monroe, we believe in the transformative power of salvation through Jesus Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Join us to experience a faith community where worship ignites passion, and every step draws us closer to Christ.
