Welcome to Sylva First!

Welcome to FirstumcSylva.org! Whether you're a guest here or an active church member, we hope you find everything you need. If you're looking for ways to grow in your faith, for ways to connect with others, for real meaning in life, or for a chance to plug into a vibrant community of faith, we believe you come to the right place.

Our church family grows in the Christian faith by supporting each other, working in ministry together, and serving the needs of our community. We are located in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina and are committed to knowing Christ and making Him known.
