FAQ
Q: Where are you?
A: Click here for directions

Q: What should I wear?
A: BUMC is a fairly casual church. If you're bringing a family, let your
children wear comfortable clothes and they'll fit right in. You too!

Q: What about the kids?
A: Little people can come to worship. Any sound a healthy child makes in
worship is fine with us. If you prefer, a nursery staffed by childcare
professionals is available throughout Sunday mornings for children up to
five years old. Sunday School classes for ages 3 and up are held between
services, beginning at 9:20 a.m. In order to keep children safe and
comfortable, there is a brief registration form to fill out the first time your
child comes to Sunday School.

Q: What am I supposed to do during communion?
A: We have Communion on the first Sunday of every month. Everyone can
participate including guests and small children. (Parents choose if they want
the little ones to receive or wait until they are older.) We use only grape
juice, either served in a small cup or in a large cup which you dip your bread
into. We will also provide some simple instructions both in the bulletin and
during worship.

Q: What if I'm not interested in joining a church?
A: Feel free to visit. No salesperson will call on you! If you are looking for some
support or are interested in a wedding, baptism, or other service, membership
is not required. What we do care about is finding the right place for you to grow
in your faith.

Q: Where does your church stand on the issues?
A: The United Methodist Church is a democratic institution. There is no single
ruler or council that mandates the church's view on important issues. Instead,
there is a worldwide gathering (General Conference) held every four years at
which elected clergy and lay delegates prayerfully consider changes to our
church's Book of Discipline, or policy statement.
The Social Principles is the part of the Discipline that contains the church's
official statements on key issues. A brochure outlining these principles is
available at the church. However, there is a wide range of personal and
political perspectives across The United Methodist Church and the Buffalo
congregation. The Methodist Church does not require its members to agree
on matters of public policy. In essentials, unity; in all else, charity.
