Fall 2026: Midweek Recharge

Weekly on Wednesday at 5:00 PM

A graphic announcing 'Midweek Recharge' fall studies beginning August 19. The background is a green and blue gradient with a charging cable icon.

There's something special about gathering together in the middle of the week. Whether you're looking to grow in your faith, connect with others, enjoy a meal with friends, or find a place for your children and students to belong, Midweek Recharge is for you.

Each Wednesday evening, our campus comes alive with opportunities for every generation. Share dinner with your church family, dive into a Bible study, rehearse with one of our choirs, or let your children and students build friendships while growing in their faith. Come for one activity or stay for the whole evening—we'd love to have you!

Our student ministry provides a welcoming place for middle and high school students to connect with one another, explore God's Word, and grow in their faith through engaging Bible studies and discussion. The full list of time and studies can be found at fumcdothan.org/youth.

Worship Arts

Music is an important part of life at FUMC Dothan, and Wednesdays are a great time to get involved. Adults are invited to join Choir Rehearsal, while children can participate in Children's Choir, Chimers, and Children's Handbells as they grow in musical skills and lead worship throughout the year.

We hope you'll make Midweek Recharge part of your weekly rhythm this fall. Whether you're coming for dinner, a study, choir, or all of the above, there's a place for you here.
