Smyrna First UMC - (770) 436-4108

Established over 170 years ago we continue to grow in our love for God and in our love for one another.

Established over 170 years ago we continue to grow in our love for God and in our love for one another. That is why we have chosen as our theme, “Loving one another to Christ”, and is based on I John 3: 11-18 and 4:7-12. It is out of that love that comes from God’s heart to our own that motivates us to go to the world in mission and in ministry to proclaim His love to all people. Every member of our congregation is encouraged to grow in discipleship as we believe the closer we come to the heart of God, the more we grow in our understanding of how much we are loved by God and we are to love all people. We invite you to explore our church and learn about our ministries as they have been born out of the compassion God gives us and we share with the world.

There are three Sunday morning opportunities:
8:45 am – Sanctuary
God’s people gather for a more traditional worship format, using many styles of liturgy and music. While not an exact duplicate of the 11:00 service, it observes a similar order, that emphasizes our search to become better Disciples of Christ as we gather as one body to lift up our praises, as well as the concerns of our hearts.

8:55 Alive Contemporary Service – 8:55 am -Fellowship Hall
Connect with God through scripture, inspirational and practical preaching, modern praise music and warm fellowship. Our worship experience at 8:55 each Sunday morning has something for everyone. Join us for this heart- centered worship as together we unpack God’s word and learn to apply it to our lives each day. This worship time is led by our pastors and our amazing praise band that create an atmosphere that encourages a heartfelt interaction with our Lord. Join us each week for a special time of connection with Christ. We hope to see you there.

11:00 am – Sanctuary
This third service uses many forms of worship styles, and is perhaps best described as a “blended” form that reflects unity in our diversity. Traditional hymns, choruses, the use of congregational creeds and prayers, and many musical styles, come together to lift our hearts toward God each and every week, preparing us for the message that has been laid on the heart of our pastors.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
At various times throughout the year, children, youth and adults lead worship services, as all of us are called to bring THE WORD to a world that needs to hear His Message. Children’s Sunday, Youth Sunday, Laity Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Easter Sunday and Advent Season are some of those opportunities.
