What are services like?
The 8:30am ("early") and 10:55am ("late") services of worship are celebrated in our main sanctuary. Worshippers are deeply engaged through traditional elements of the Church’s historical worship practices. Various choirs and ensembles lead us in hymn singing and music. Holy Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month.
Our "Encounter" service occurs at 11:00am in Wesley Chapel. This service is not traditional nor is it contemporary. It is an experiment in worship from week to week with a strong emphasis on holistic participation and an experience of God utilizing traditional, contemporary, and emerging worship practices. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday.
May I participate in Holy Communion?
Yes, the United Methodist Church practices an “open table” which means that all persons are invited and encouraged to participate in the Lord’s Supper with us. All persons are invited and welcome at Christ’s table.

What does it mean to be a member of the United Methodist Church?
The New Member Class is designed for those interested in becoming members of Cookeville FUMC. We meet for 4 weeks. During the first two weeks, we focus on the life of discipleship in the Wesleyan tradition, spending one week learning about acts of piety and one week studying acts of mercy. We conclude the last two weeks by studying the historical and theological foundations of our faith. Dates and times will be announced in the newsletter and in worship. Sunday School Page
