First United Methodist Church values & appreciates its volunteers! The church would not function without the generous donations of time, talent & dedication from its volunteers. There are several positions open for 2020 volunteers. When becoming church members we agree to support our church with our time and talents. The more people who volunteer for church positions the easier the work load is.
