Welcome to First United Methodist Church of Appleton! We are a congregation deeply committed to the great task that Jesus put on his church’s heart: to make disciples and transform this world.

At First Church you can expect to find a successful model of an intergenerational church: We have a wonderful children’s ministry, a great junior and senior high youth program, an array of adult programs ranging from small group ministries to annual mission trips and an outstanding music ministry program for kids, youth and adults.

We’d love to welcome you among us. Know that you can come as you are so we can grow together and make a difference in God’s great world.

  • Gift of Prayer for Our Church

    Our church has been fortunate to have a Gift of Prayer Ministry as a service to our congregation since 2017. We encourage this to be shared in support of one another as we serve the Lord together in mission and ministry to our church and community. Those who sign up for one or more days to pray for our church will receive an email regarding church activity at the start of the month as suggestions to emphasize during prayer; however, how you choose to pray, how long you choose to pray, and for whom you choose to spend your time in prayer is completely up to you. Please consider supporting this ministry as you are able. For more information, please call the church office at 920-734-2677 and someone will be in touch with you. My Best Always, Daniel Flesch, Gift of Prayer Ministry Coordinator
