BEYOND

Like the Apollo Moon landings, we have taken great lengths to make sure that this year will be out of this world. We have over 70 adults committed to ensuring that this place is where you can feel safe, known, and loved. BUMCSM is the perfect place to make our big church seem small through the community. We believe that Jesus is the center of our mission to make disciples who will transform this world. We also believe that we are called to be with you and for you to feel it every time you are here.

Youth Worship:

Is a great place for you to belong, have fun, hear about Jesus, and bring a friend! This is a great place for those who are deep in their faith journey and those who are just beginning a journey.

6th Grade Confirmation

Confirmation is an opportunity for 6th grade students to claim their faith as their own. During a semester-long class, students will learn the basics of faith and theology as well as United Methodist and Christian history. This class concludes with the opportunity for each student to confirm their faith and join the church as well as an opportunity to be baptized. Confirmation has a combination of large group teaching by one of our clergy or youth ministers, as well as small groups. Confirmation, while a large milestone in one’s faith journey, is not a finish line. Rather it’s one part of the journey we hope to continue with each student throughout their time in BUMCSM.
