Births + Baptism
Births
In the event of a birth or adoption to a church member’s family, please contact our Caring Ministry. Births and adoptions are listed on our weekly prayer list. You can find that list on our Online Worship page.

To schedule a pastoral care appointment with one of our pastors, please fill out our pastoral care request form.
- Rosebuds & Baby Blankets
Births and adoptions of members are listed in our worship service bulletins and rosebuds are placed on the baptismal font in honor of newborn children. Newborn and newly adopted children receive a handmade blanket from BUMC Kids handmade by our Prayer Shawl Ministry, as well as the rosebud placed on the font in their honor and a copy of the worship bulletin listing their name. Contact our Caring Ministry at 615.324.7254 to notify us of a recent birth or adoption so we can honor your family in upcoming worship services.
Baptism
As a United Methodist Church, we practice the sacrament of infant baptism. Though it is most frequently done between one and six months, baptism can be performed at any age. Contact Haley Durham to schedule a baptism.
