New here?
Welcome! Every Sunday we gather together as a community of friends and family to worship Jesus.
Thanks for checking out First Methodist Carrollton! We know it can be kind of awkward or even intimidating to walk into a new place for the first time... especially church. Keep reading and we'll do our best to let you know what to expect before you show up.
Even if you’re new to Texas, you’ve probably noticed that DFW has some pretty big, pretty amazing churches. Spoiler alert: we’re not big, but our community is pretty amazing. We don’t have all the bells and whistles you could find at a megachurch – but we’re right-sized to walk with you through the ups and downs of life.
If you’re looking for a friend, or a mentor, or a family-feel community – we got you! We’re a multigenerational church community that’s been rooted in Carrollton for over 120 years. We’d love to meet you and help you find your place here. Check us out this Sunday - we worship at 10:30 a.m. and it usually lasts around 75 minutes. If you want to get connected, come at 9 a.m. to check out our classes for all ages. Our address is 2201 E. Hebron Pkwy. Carrollton, TX 75010.
What to wear?
We're a multigenerational church, so you'll see all kinds of styles here! Some men will wear suits, a few of our ladies have a fancy coordinating hat for every dress, and you might see traditional clothing from India, Sierra Leone, and Pakistan. But most of us are pretty casual - you'll see a lot of jeans (and even shorts with t-shirts or hoodies, depending on how crazy the Texas weather happens to be...) so wear what's comfortable for you!
What about kids?
We love having kids worship with us! We believe it's mutually transforming for kids and adults to worship together, and we also have classes designed to help kids grow spiritually in age-appropriate ways.
Our nursery, for infants through age 4, is always open on Sundays. You can check in your little ones at any time. You and your child will get matching security stickers; it becomes their name tag, and you'll turn in your sticker to pick them up.
Sunday school happens at 9 a.m. for all ages. For kids in grades K-3, we also have a children's church service called Blast! at 10:30 a.m. Older kids worship with their families. (Fifth Sundays of the month are family Sundays; Blast! doesn't meet so families can worship together.)
What's the service like?
Music in our worship services is led each week by our band and vocal team. We sing both new worship songs as well as hymns, a musical mix that allows people of all ages to connect to Jesus and worship Him.
In every service, we also pray together, read Scripture, profess our faith, and hear a message based on the word of God.
You can check out previous services on our YouTube channel.
