Removing Barriers

A place where all people can experience the
transforming love of Jesus Christ.

We are all “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God and all have unique challenges and gifts at different times in our lives.  At Franklin First UMC, we strive to make God’s love and His message accessible to all of His people.  We strive to meet each member of the body of Christ where he or she is and provide for his or her needs as we are able.

Currently, we offer accessibility aids for Sunday morning worship, assistance during Sunday School, and a sensory room for those needing additional care.  We are also home to the Davis Wright Playground, one of the only sensory, handicapped-accessible playgrounds in Middle Tennessee. For additional information about our special needs ministry, call 615-794-2734 or contact Carrie Altman.
