Mayfield First United Methodist Church gets $4.8 million in FEMA funding

FEMA has approved over $4.8 million in federal funding to Mayfield First United Methodist Church for damage caused by the 2021 tornado.

During the incident period, the EF-4 tornado resulted in the destruction of the church, originally completed in 1919.

The church will utilize contractors to replace the church facility, interiors, services, and equipment to include the foundation, columns, roofing to interior finishes, mechanical systems, and furnishings. A new church sign will also be erected.

Contract work will also be used to replace the church's M.P. Moller brand organ to match the original design, function, and capacity as well as various types of stained glass and insulated windows throughout the church.


This is the second Mayfield church in a week to receive FEMA funding. Late last week, First Christian Church of Mayfield received $4,757,382 in recovery funds.
