McPherson First United Methodist Church is excited to announce a new way to connect with our church family - through text messaging! Starting today, you can text CONNECT to our main church number at (620) 241-3626 to join our text community and stay connected. Of course, this number continues to receive phone calls just as always.

This new system makes it easier for people to connect in whatever way works best for them. Sometimes a quick text is the perfect way to submit a prayer request or get information about church ministries.

Getting Started

When you text a keyword, you'll receive a friendly response within soon. If it's your first time, we'll ask for your name and email to personalize future messages. Don't worry - we respect your privacy and you can manage your preferences or stop messages anytime by texting MANAGE.
