Kyle Bryan
Executive Pastor & Center Director
Kyle has led ministry in Anniston for years and believes the church's greatest gift to the city is its space — opened wide, held loosely, and offered freely.
Tammy Jackson
Senior Pastor
Tammy's pastoral vision for Anniston First UMC has always been outward-facing. The Center is that vision made physical — a building that asks: who else needs to be here?
Anniston needs places like this. Help us fill them.
Whether you want to rent a room, host a class, sell at the market, or just follow along — there's a place for you here.
