The First United Methodist Church serves as a major part of the La Grange community through its wide offering of worship and service programs.

During its later service on Sundays, the church offers childcare and a children's alternative service while adults attend the regular service.

From September to April, on Wednesdays, three choirs meet and practice at the church — two for children and one for adults. There's also an affordable dinner served ($5 adults, $3 kids), an adult Bible study and a contemporary worship service.
