Welcome to Buffalo United Methodist Church's website! We are a church made up of many ages, personal experiences and faith backgrounds, who celebrate our God-given graces and gifts together in worship and service. We share a common faith in Jesus Christ and a desire to grow in faithfulness, but we're diverse in that God speaks to each of us uniquely. We have different learning styles, we like different styles of music, and we have different ways of expressing our growing faith. A quote from Methodist church founder, John Wesley, sums it up well: “In essentials unity, in all else charity.”
We are serious about following Jesus, but casual about most everything else. We are Biblical in focus, with scripture as the first source of our faith, reflected on using our reason, experience, and faith tradition. But, we also believe that we do not have to agree on everything to love one another or to serve together.
We are grateful to be a generationally-diverse church with over 125 years of history in this community and a rich denominational heritage and connection. Yet, we are continually asking “What is God calling us to do today and tomorrow?”
We strive to share unity, grace and the joy of knowing Christ in our community and in the world. Come visit anytime!

NEW!!! One "Meet in the Middle" worship service at 9:00 am Starting May 26!!
This summer our two worship services will unite and have just one service at 9:00 am. It’s called “Meet in the Middle” because we split the difference on summer worship times (8:15 & 9:45) to start at 9:00 am. Just for fun we're also calling it "M & M" (meet in the middle) Worship, and there will actually be M&Ms to greet you when you come. Visitors are welcome, and a coffee fellowship will follow worship from 10:00-10:30. The coffee pot will also be on when you get here
for a quick cup of Guatemalan java beforehand, if you like. You can come to worship and still have most of the day for other family activities. Our worship series will be based on the parables of Jesus, and we promise some interesting new thoughts on these old stories!

We Are a Missional Church!
Buffalo UMC has joined other United Methodist churches across the country in boldly asking God to work through us in new ways. We have adopted five new missional ministry initiatives as a pathway we are following to increase our fruitfulness in reaching more people with the good news of Jesus Christ. These five initiatives (and twelve new ministry teams) are adding vitality and momentum to our ministries of meeting, listening to, learning from, and loving other people in the name and Spirit of Jesus. We are on a journey of becoming fearless, selfless, and hopeful disciples, doing whatever it takes to bring the love of Jesus to hurting, lonely, and left-out people.
