Pray for First United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama

First United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, began in 1871, originally known as the First Methodist Episcopal Church South. With over 150 years of history, FUMC Birmingham proudly serves as the “Mother Church” for many congregations in the Birmingham area. Their legacy of faith tells stories of God’s faithfulness. As a vibrant congregation, they actively seek the Lord’s guidance to serve effectively in downtown Birmingham. They focus on creating engaging and authentic worship experiences, providing discipleship opportunities, and launching service initiatives for all who attend.

Today, join in prayer for the church family as they conclude a unique weekend retreat designed to strengthen their bonds through study and activities. They are entering a transition period with their pastor, Stephanie York, stepping into a new role within the United Methodist Church. The search committee and the Staff Parish Council seek the Lord’s guidance as they determine their next steps. Pray for wisdom and strength for the church family during this time. We give thanks for First United Methodist Church in Birmingham, praying that it continues to be a source of hope and truth for everyone seeking its community.
