How to Stay Updated on Events and Give to Marshall First UMC

Marshall First United Methodist Church (Marshall FUMC) shares upcoming events through its newsletter and calendar, and it provides a "Give Today!" section on its website for supporting the church. To use either, start at the church site and follow the "Learn More" links for the calendar/newsletter or the giving page. The church meets in person and streams worship live on Facebook at 9 a.m. Sundays, so the same site is also where you confirm the current worship schedule.

Staying Updated on Events and News

The church's homepage points visitors to two places for what's coming up: the newsletter and the calendar. Both are reached through a "Learn More" link in the section about what's happening at Marshall First UMC.

• Newsletter — read it for announcements and event write-ups.
• Calendar — check it for dates and times of upcoming activities.
• Ministries and activities — the "Meet Marshall First UMC" area covers staff and clergy, history, and ministries, which helps you see what kinds of events the church runs before you look for a specific date.

A practical routine: check the calendar first for dates, then the newsletter for details or changes. If a listing is unclear, the contact and directions page is the natural next stop for reaching the church office.

Giving to the Church

The site includes a "Support Marshall First UMC — Give Today!" section with a "Give" link. That is the entry point the church provides for giving online. The available page information does not describe which payment methods are accepted or whether any fees apply, so confirm those details on the giving page itself before you complete a gift.

Planning a Visit Alongside These Tasks

If you are checking events because you plan to attend, note the worship pattern the church lists: in-person worship at 9 a.m., with a simultaneous live stream on Facebook at 9 a.m. Sunday. The site frames worship as the congregation's response to God and describes services as a space to connect with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The church also states its values plainly — Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, the Bible as the written word of God, the mission to "make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world," Christian fellowship, stewardship of the world, and affirming all persons as equally valuable in God's sight while standing against all forms of racism. Knowing these helps you judge whether a ministry or event you see on the calendar fits what you are looking for.
