Athens First United Methodist Church - Athens (GA)

Joe MAB is the most welcoming, loving, and compassionate church I have ever visited. They truly welcome EVERYONE by actively practicing the teachings of Christ.

Sonya Clark My husband and I have been faithful members for almost three now and we would not change things for nothing. Everyone is full of love and Bishop be getting down teaching the word.

Christopher Pipkin This is a great church with great people, balanced, with good teaching, theology, music, liturgy, and community. They’ve recently moved to a new site (out of the Botanical Garden, to downtown) because they are growing too large for that space. My family and I have been part of this community since 2017 and have been members almost as long.

Britt Shewbridge I love my church! Truth, Love, and Diversity - these are our pillars! Truth: the Word of God is preached with bold faith. Love: we come alongside one another and encourage each other in our pilgrimages with God! We love God and love people! Diversity: I always brag on our church for this. You will see and be friends with people of all colors and all nations. I eat often after church with the Philippino Fellowship and the African fellowship! I love the unity in diversity - this is what heaven will be like! Come, you are welcome here!

Alisa Townley We love this church. As a young family we were quickly welcomed when we originally began attending, and when we came back our second week, people remembered our names! This was a huge deal to us, and is only one example of the effort this community puts in to love on people and be the hands and feet of Jesus in Athens. We enjoy the scripture based sermons and feel like this church is one where learning more about and following Christ is the utmost intention.

Kimberly White Maskatory, social distancing, event Hall, permision required first, see Church leaders, great place

Bernie Hockman Great place to worship for singles, young families and older adults. Has a close family feel to it that is easy for anyone to fit in.

Kelly OBrien I go to their food bank every Tuesday & Thursday morning - bring your own bag/box Elder Grant is a good man I love when he prays with us Thank you all you do for the community

Mathews Angela (Angie) This is my original home church. The pastor and staff were so accommodating to our family as we celebrated the life of a lost loved one. Spiritual growth is evident with the church thanks to the wonderful leadership. I would recommend this church to anyone in the surrounding area.

Roy Forbis Great church!!
