The Douglas First United Methodist Church was founded in Douglas, Georgia in August 1888. Its early history was published in A Centennial History by Elizabeth Lott and others in 1988.
The congregation is currently led by Rev. Craig Hutto who was appointed at Annual Conference in 2008. Many opportunities are provided for worship during the week.
The Chancel Choir, under the direction of Brad Riner, meets each Wednesday evening in the choir room at 7:30pm. Each Sunday morning they bring a message in song and add to our 11:00 worship service. Each Christmas the Chancel Choir Cantata is much anticipated and there are other special events throughout the year to showcase all the talent we have right here at Douglas First!
The Handbell Choir, under the direction of Steve Miller, meets each Wednesday at 5:00pm. They play throughout the year at the 8:30am and 11:00am worship services and add so much to the music of the seasons of the church. The Handbell Choir enjoys learning through workshops and traveling to hear other bell choirs perform. Each year they play for Community Events such as the Carols and Communion at St. Andrews Episcopel Church on Christmas Eve.
The Z317 Praise Team leads our monthly contemporary worship service and meets in The Chapel, Tuesdays at 5:00pm. If you play an instrument and would like to join in - jump right in - all are welcome!
The Church is a member of the South Georgia Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.
