If you are planning to visit Keith Church for the first time, here is some information you might find helpful.

 
  • Where is the church?

Keith Memorial United Methodist Church is located on Madison Avenue in Athens, Tennessee.  From downtown, take Madison Avenue towards Riceville. The church is approximately .5 miles on the right: 600 West Madison Avenue Athens, Tennessee, 37303

  • What do I wear? 

Dress comfortably.  People do dress up for sanctuary services and more casually for The Gathering. Don’t worry about your attire, just come and experience Keith Church!

  • When do I need to arrive? 

Due to parking and finding your way to the sanctuary or The Gathering (modern service), plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to your worship service. Our Sunday school classes meet every Sunday morning from 10:00-10:45 a.m. Our Worship services begin at 9:00 for Traditional Worship (Sanctuary) and 11:00 a.m. for Modern Worship (The Gathering ).

  • What about my children? 

Keith Church is a safe sanctuary for children and we have a Child Protection Policy in place, which includes a national criminal background check for all adults working with our children.  Our infant nursery (infants through children younger than 2 years of age) and toddler nursery (children ages 2 through 4 years) are staffed by nurturing and caring adults from 9:00-12:00 p.m. Our Sunday School classes meet from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. for children three years old through the fifth grade, as well as youth (sixth through 12th grade).  From 11:00 – 12:00 p.m. children in Kindergarten and older attend worship with their families.
