You don't have to do life alone.
Who are we?
We don’t pretend to be perfect and we don’t expect you to be either. We are just flawed people striving to find out more about God and what His plan is for our lives. You don’t have to wait to “get your act together”. So just come as you are. You don’t have to do life alone.
We are a group of people learning together how to follow Jesus Christ. Some of us grew up in the Methodist Church or another Christian denomination and some of us had no Christian background before finding FMC. We grow in our faith journey together, regardless of when or where we began. Join the journey; we certainly can do more together!

Staff
Sandy Benson
Weekday Preschool Director
Sandy oversees the function of the preschool. She is responsible for the staff and makes sure that her staff is following all guidelines set by the state. Sandy feels that if children learn at an early age how to get along with other children, learn to follow instructions, learn academically, and learn to play all while having fun, it will aid in their future success! Kids are a blessing, and she counts it a privilege to help mold them.
History
First Methodist Church's history begins in 1863 with the first church in Brown County, established by two Methodist ministers: George Vest and William Mayberry. Later, in 1922, the church decided to multiply, planting a second church now known as Central United Methodist Church. Later, with further development in Brownwood, the church decided to relocate to the current building across the street from Brownwood High School, a location that has proved to be valuable to the efforts of the youth ministry.
Throughout its history, FMC has faithfully aimed to serve the community in Brownwood and the Christian community worldwide.
