For more than one hundred years, Methodists in Alabaster have faithfully proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed.  First United Methodist Church in Alabaster is believed to be one of the oldest churches in this area.  Its exact date of origin is unknown.  The oldest document located in church files is a letter, dated December 22, 1890, transferring the membership of Mrs. M. M. Smith from a church in North Georgia.

The church originally stood near the Alabaster lime quarry behind City Hall and was called Bethlehem Methodist Church.  It relocated to Siluria in 1903 and a new building was constructed in the side of a hill about 300 yards south of the intersection of Montevallo Road and 11th Avenue South.  In those early years the Baptists of our community used the Methodist Church facilities until they were able to construct their own.

In 1950 the church moved to its present location where a new sanctuary was built.  A new name was acquired with the relocation:  Central Methodist Church.  An education building was constructed in the early sixties.  The congregation continued to grow and our present sanctuary was erected in 1983.  A Service of Consecration was held on December 23, 1983.

On July 23, 1996, a fire destroyed the old sanctuary and education building.  "Rebuilding and Rebirth" became the theme as the people enthusiastically launched plans for new and expanded facilities.  August 2, 1998, was a joyful day as we consecrated our new Fellowship Hall and Education Building.  We are Resurrection People.  Out of the fire came a new vision for a new day, new facilities and new opportunities for ministry in our rapidly growing community.
