The First United Methodist Church is a staple in the Austell community. It hosts an array of programs for its members and the community of Austell. These activities include fitness programs and Backpack Blessings, where elementary students are given a backpack of food for the weekend and bring the backpack back on Monday to be refilled for the next weekend. Austell First United Methodist Church also has a tuition-free preschool called Feed My Lambs. More information can be found at www.feedmylambs.net.
