Welcome to the First United
Methodist Church of Bonham!
As you explore our webpage, I invite you to discover a place of community -- a church family whose mission is to make disciples of Jesus
Christ for the transformation of the world.
The First United Methodist Church of Bonham began in 1844, and was the first church in Bonham after it became the county seat of Fannin
County in 1843, we have a long and rich heritage in this county and our community.
In 1987 we began a community preschool program.

In 1994 The Clarence White Family Life Center was completed. The Life Center offers a place of
fellowship and community-building.
We host many civic meetings and activities. We sponsor Upward Basketball, Boy Scout Troop 260,
and Kool After School-- programs that benefit the children and families of Bonham. We offer a community-wide Ladies Bible Study,
and many other ministries and outreach programs.
Throughout our history, our church has been faithfully answering the call to make disciples of Jesus Christ and to equip these saints to join God at work in our midst.
We are a church family eager to invite you to experience the love of God demonstrated in our worship, missions,
and ministries.
May God's blessings rest upon you!

Financial Peace University
Is a 13-week course that encourages a disciplined approach to our finances by examining our behaviors through humor, life lessons, and scripture. The course includes
•_______a video segment during each class by Dave Ramsey, author of the Total Money Makeover, and a person devoted to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind financial distress and how to set things right-financially, emotionally and spiritually.
•_______small group discussions facilitated by Tom and Liz Talbert that encourage members to apply the principles they are learning.
Financial stress is reduced and families begin to “practice” biblical principles because application and structure and commitment are encouraged through the power of community.
Cost for the course materials that includes the videos, a workbook and software for budgeting is $95.00. The program is a biblically based accountability curriculum that will teach you to manage God’s money and resources in a Godly way. It empowers you to make the right financial decisions to achieve your financial goals, teaching you to eliminate debt, build wealth, and give like never before. On average, famillies reduce their debt by $5,300 and save $2,700 in just 91 days.
Financial Peace University begins Sunday evening Sept. 13 from 5:00-6:45 in the Family Life Center. Please call the church office to sign up, so we can order the curriculum. You will be affirmed, encouraged, and educated to be a better manager of your gifts and resources. The cost of the curriculum can be paid in full or a week at a time. In 13 weeks that averages to approximately $7.30, less that an entree at one of Bonham’s fine eating establishments. Can you afford not to join Financial Peace University?
