Walmart Season of Giving
If you are a Walmart Associate, you can double your offering to First United Methodist Church (FUMC) during the Season of Giving Associate Match period. Walmart matches eligible associate contributions, so your gift to FUMC goes twice as far. Donations can be made to "First Methodist Bentonville" on Walmart's Deed giving platform. If you need help navigating this platform, please reach out to the church office for detailed instructions.
Give early. The Associate Match period runs November 1 to December 8. Match funds are often depleted before the program ends, so we encourage you to donate as early as possible to make sure your gift is matched.
Community Events
Beer & Hymns | November 8 at Tontitown Winery | 5PM
Beer & Hymns has Gone Country!
This November, we’re trading a little hymnbook energy for country classics and plenty of songs you didn't realize you already know every word to.
We’ll be singing loud and raising funds for the NWA Center for Sexual Assault, supporting survivors and the vital work they do across our community.
As always, Beer & Hymns is free to attend, all ages are welcome, and no actual country credentials are required. Grab your people, dust off your boots if you’ve got ’em, and come sing with us.
Beer & Carols | December 13 at Rogers Metroplex | 5PM
Beer & Carols 2026!
Beer & Carols is a holiday singalong like no other!
Hundreds of neighbors. A full live band. Horns, strings, food, drinks, Christmas favorites, and one very loud room raising funds for a great cause.
This December, Beer & Hymns returns to the Rogers Metroplex for our biggest celebration of the year, benefiting EverHope. Sponsorships and General Admission Tickets and Tables are on sale NOW!

Are you able to help our schools?
As part of our Wesleyan tradition, we celebrate and support public schools. This is why we partner with three schools (Gateway Virtual Alternative Learning High School, R. E. Baker and the International School of Mary Mae Jones. Each year we ask you, as a congregation, to help us honor these partnerships with your physical presence and/or financial support. Below is a form with a few ways you can help. Will you please prayerfully consider how you may be part of this ministry. Because some of the school personnel has shifted, even if you have helped in the past, please complete the form again. Thank you for your ministry!
