Humble circumstances surrounded the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and the initial organization and forerunners of First United Methodist Church of Dothan, Alabama. The life, death and resurrection of our Lord have impacted the world for over 2,000 years. First United Methodist Church and its predecessors have been forceful influences for many individuals and families in the community and the surrounding areas. From both sources, rich legacies have evolved and continue to motivate and challenge our members to a better way of life.

We are motivated by the belief that the lives of all people are better if they have a conscious relationship with God, through Jesus Christ.
