Sunday School Offering

Each week at Sunday School, we collect a mission offering. This offering is one of the ways we help fulfill our vision of offering Christ from the heart of downtown for an awakening in Southwest Georgia. During this month your generous giving will help support the following missions. Thank you for your generous support of our Sunday School Mission Offerings!

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army provides a safe and secure place for individuals and families to receive meals and spend the night. It also provides a place of worship, disaster response efforts, and other social services. The Salvation Army is a strong community partner with us and serves many of our SEWN neighbors.

The Lord's Pantry

The Lord’s Pantry provides groceries and clothing to those in need. They serve over 1,500 families in our community each year with diligence and compassion. Each day they’re open, you’re likely to see one or more First Methodist members serving our neighbors by greeting and interviewing them, distributing groceries, sorting donated clothing, and more.

The Altar Fund

This fund supports many benevolence and emergency aid needs within our church and community, including our weekly SEWN meal. SEWN consistently feeds more than 125 of our food insecure neighbors in partnership with other churches and organizations. It also provides a time for worship and community.

Albany Rescue Mission

Albany Rescue Mission serves over 100,000 meals annually, provides clothing and food bags for the homeless, while offering a 90-day “New Beginnings” program to its residents.
