About First U M Church

First UMC is centrally located in downtown Punxsutawney along State Route 36, and the congregation has been part of the community since the early 1800s.  The church has a rich history of mission support, music ministry, and community outreach.  First UMC offers Quarterly Outreach Events to the community, works among Beyer Avenue (affordable housing) & holds a monthly free community dinners which are served to build fellowship and outreach alongside the community.  First UMC has three adult Sunday School classes, two children’s Sunday School classes, one Youth Sunday School class, and offers Bible Study every Tuesday morning and seasonal Small Groups for Men & Women.  First UMC is blessed to have a powerful music ministry.  We have a 9am service in our FH that began this year & we have an 11 am service in our sanctuary.  Both services are modern in their approach.  We host 2 Musical Cantatas annually during the Christmas and Easter seasons.  These Cantatas draw thousands to hear the gospel message, and the community choir is made up of singers and musicians from a dozen churches from as far away as Pittsburgh. The congregation is a host facility for a Boy Scout Troop, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, and a Weight Watchers meeting.
