Plan yOur Visit

We know visiting a church for the first time can feel intimidating. Here’s what you can expect at FIMC Madison.

Join Us this Sunday

Sunday School – 9:00 AM

A place to dig deeper into God’s Word in a smaller setting. Classes for all ages, where questions are welcome and friendships are built.

Worship Service – 10:00 AM

Our whole church family gathers for an hour of authentic worship and practical teaching. Music is a blend of hymns and modern praise, and the message is rooted in Scripture but easy to apply to everyday life.

Join Us this Wednesday

Bible study – 6:30 pM

A midweek recharge. Casual, interactive teaching where we open the Bible together, ask honest questions, and grow in faith side by side.

Youth group – 6:30 PM

For middle and high school students. Games, music, and real conversations about faith in a space designed just for them. A chance to belong, be challenged, and build lifelong friendships.

Come as you are

frequently asked questions

  • Whatever you’re comfortable in. Most people dress casual.

  • A little over an hour. Enough time to worship, learn, and still beat the lunch crowd.

  • Our services are informal but meaningful. You’ll experience a blend of hymns, gospel, and modern worship, plus a practical, Bible-based message that connects with everyday life.

  • We love kids and want church to be the best hour of their week. Every age group has a safe, fun, and Bible-centered place to grow:

    • Nursery (Birth–2 years): Loving care in a safe, nurturing environment. We’ll keep your little ones comfortable while you worship.

    • Preschool (3–5 years): Play, songs, and simple Bible lessons designed for their age and attention span.

    • Elementary (K–5th grade): High-energy worship, games, and teaching that helps kids see how God’s Word connects to their everyday lives.

    • Middle & High School (6th–12th grade): Students join their families in Sunday worship and gather on Wednesday nights at 6:30 for games, music, and real conversations about faith and life.

    We are like family, so drop-off and pick-up are quick, safe, and easy.

  • At FIMC Madison, we stand in the historic doctrines of John Wesley, and we seek to live them out in ways that are faithful to Scripture and practical for everyday life.

    The Bible
    We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, without error in its original writings. It is our final authority for faith and life.

    God
    We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    Jesus Christ
    We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and the only Savior of the world. We affirm His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the Father, and His promised return. Salvation and everlasting life are found in Him alone.

    Salvation
    We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Christ’s finished work and repentance from sin. It is not earned, but given freely through the blood of Jesus.

    Creation and Miracles
    We believe the biblical account of creation and all the supernatural acts of God recorded in Scripture are true.

    Humanity
    We believe people were created in God’s image as free moral agents. Every person has the God-given ability to choose or reject Him throughout life.

    Sanctification
    We believe believers can be cleansed from all sin through the blood of Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, enabling us to live holy and obedient lives.

    Resurrection and Eternity
    We believe there will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost — the saved to eternal life with God, and the lost to eternal separation from Him.

    Ordinances
    We believe and practice two ordinances commanded by Christ: Baptism (by the mode of one’s choice) and the Lord’s Supper.

    Our Nation
    We believe in freedom and responsibility as citizens of the United States. We love and respect our nation, and we pray for God’s blessing on our country.
