a place to belong

Thank you for visiting First United Methodist Church of Ozark! Our mission is to be an obedient community of faith--believing, praising, and loving God as revealed in Jesus Christ--as we respect, encourage, and serve our neighbors.


Founded in 1852, FUMC Ozark continues to work toward celebrating all people in our society and committing ourselves to the rights of men, women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. We invite you to explore what we have to offer, and we hope you visit us soon!

The Season of Lent

Lent is a 40 day period (excluding Sundays) proceeding Easter. It is a holy and sacred time to get ready spiritually for Jesus‘ death on the cross, and to look forward to Resurrection Sunday. Before we can truly celebrate Easter, we must first grieve the death of our Savior. This season of Lent is a long journey which may seem, at times, difficult and stretching. Lent is typically thought of as a time to give up some thing. We are invited to think of Lent not only is the time to give up something, but also to “add to” by spending more time each day in prayer and Bible reading, as well as additional time worshiping the Lord.

Every Wednesday during the season of Lent at 12 noon, we will have a Lenten worship service in the Sanctuary followed by lunch in the Fellowship Hall ($7). Please be in prayer for the services, plan to attend, and bring a friend. We will be having outstanding preachers from our Alabama -West, Florida, conference, and the Saint Paul AME church each week. These Lenten services promise to be a wonderful way to reflect, examine our lives, and to “add to,” which will hopefully inspire a renewed dependence on Jesus for all things. 

Along with the Lenten Journey in Christ, 

Dr. Jason Thrower

Senior Pastor, FUMC of Ozark
