1/27/15 - After first contacting people/families/heirs who gave pews to the church to see if they want to reclaim them, the Board decided to offer the rest of the pews in the old Sanctuary for $1,000 each. This certainly does not preclude a larger donation, and all funds will go into the new Building Fund. If you are interested in purchasing a pew, please call John Hicks or the Church Secretary to be put on the list.

Franklin United Methodist Church is a fellowship of believers who have come together as a family of faith. Together we have established the following purpose, vision, and mission statements:
Purpose: "Willing and ready to follow and serve Jesus Christ."
Vision: "Franklin UMC shares God's love, Christ's sacrifice, and
our faith for the salvation of the world."
Mission: "We believe in Jesus Christ whom we follow, serve, and share."
Key Verse: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17
