If you are visiting the Lake Eufaula area for the weekend or are here on a vacation, WELCOME! Do not feel like you have to "dress up" to worship. We have lots of weekend visitors, and we would love to have you in either service.
If you are a resident of the Checotah area, why not try us out if you do not have a church home? Who knows, you might like us!! We are a mainline United Methodist Church, proclaiming the Gospel message of hope and grace.
We truly believe in Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors. We will not 'pester' you with visits and phone calls. But we would love to see you! We also realize you have many great faith communities to choose from in our town, and if you do choose us we will do our best to help you feel welcome! Let us know how we can be in ministry to you.

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of Rhonda Elledge Steinlicht, daughter of Pat and Kerwin Crist, following a long illness. Services are at 11:00 Tuesday, April 9th, at Yanda and Sons Funeral Home in Yukon, OK, with Rev. Loftin officiating. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
Join us every Wednesday morning at 7:00 in Memorial Hall for Midweek Communion. The service alternates between a Celtic service and a Taisé service, led by one of our ministers. The service lasts approximately 20 minutes.
Sunday School classes are now meeting in our new building at 9:30 a.m.! The Senior Minister's class meets in his office, and rooms have been designated for all the other groups, including the new Younger Adults class. Our new Nursery and the Youth Hall are also up and running! No matter your age, there is a place for you at FUMC Checotah!
Memorial Hall contains an 8'x8' red oak section that has space for 288 brass name plates. Please contact the office if you would like to remember someone who gave their prayers, presence, gifts and service to our church with a memorial plaque. Each plaque has room for 23 letters and spaces.
