Modern Worship
At Tucker First United Methodist Church, our modern worship service is known as The Table. This name emphasizes the desire for everyone to understand and take their place at God’s table, where Jesus invites all to receive His grace and mercy.
The Table meets in our chapel and creates a relaxed worship environment usually led with guitar, keyboard, and drums. There is no bulletin for this service, and there are tables and chairs instead of pews. Dress is casual for this service. You can expect a Scripture and sermon portion of this service to last between 15-20 minutes. In addition, The Table serves Communion every Sunday, an especially meaningful time for our congregation to share in God’s grace available to all ages.

Here is one portion from the article, “Our understanding of what it means to be a member is deeply rooted in our Methodist heritage. John Wesley was clear that Christianity is a social religion, and that our growth in holiness of heart and life is deeply dependent on being in face-to-face community with others who are watching over us (and we over them) in love. It is in the context of these face-to-face relationships that we experience what it means to be the body of Christ in the world.”
We believe that being a part of a church family is important to the growth of a Christian. When you decide that you want to join our church, we’ll ask you two questions:
Our favorite way to have you join our church is to have you come to the front of any of our services during the last song and let the pastor know you want to join the church. You then get to publicly respond to the question and we recognize you as our newest member(s)! (If standing in front of everyone is intimidating to you, give us a call and we will discuss some other options). Contact our Senior Pastor, Rev. Gerald Varner or our Associate Pastor, Rev. Anne Cumings for more information.
