Visitors, thank you for visiting our website.  At Noblesville First United Methodist Church we are excited about the worship and ministry opportunities we have to offer.  We invite you to visit us any time.  During the week the office is busy, and the preschool is abuzz with activity.  In the evenings the church is open for all kinds of meetings and community groups.

     

If you’re looking for a church home, we have four-week membership inquiry classes for those new to United Methodism.  For those wishing to transfer memberships from other United Methodist churches, we have membership coffees every two or three months.  It’s a wonderful way to meet new people and to join the church in a very relaxed setting.

If you have questions, please call Rebecca Koppin, Staff Director of Lay Programs, at 773-2500.
