Fellowship
Some of the basic tenets of our beliefs at First United Methodist Church involve Fellowship, Worship, Outreach and Nurture. The Fellowship opportunities at Conway First are abundant and are perfectly suited for both the young and the young at heart. Find friends here at First United Methodist Church.

Primetimers
The Primetimers is a group of older adults who are really on the go!
In the past few years, the Primetimers have taken trips to Van Buren for a train ride, strolled through Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, and went shopping at the Holiday House Christmas event in Little Rock. These trips usually involve a small fee (for tickets, gas and meals). For more information, call the church office at 501.329.3801.

They are women like you. Women of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds: employed, not employed, housewives, business women, retired women, single, married, divorced, widowed, young, middle-aged, and older women.
