Welcome
How can you be the church in these extraordinary times of health-related social distancing? Here at First United Methodist Church of Appleton we invite you to partner with us to find an answer to this question!
Please know that even though most of our staff is working from home these days, you can still call the church office during regular office hours and communicate with all staff via email and phone.
Much of our ministry is now taking place through online platforms. If you need help to connect or know of someone who does not have internet. Please contact the church office.
You will find links to worship services, classes and ministries under the Ways to be The Church heading. Let us be the church…
