BWUMC is a reconciling CONGREGATION
We are a people on a journey together with God and with one another to renew God’s spirit in us, to reflect Jesus and his love to one another, and to return God’s blessings to the hurting world. On this journey we celebrate all persons as God’s sacred and precious children regardless of age, race, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic status, mental and physical abilities and welcome them into the full participation in the life of this beloved community. We invite all to this journey to live justly, to love boundlessly, and to walk humbly with God and with all, one day at a time.

Turn your kids into Galactic Starveyors!
As kids focus their telescopes on the marvels painted in the sky by the Creator, they will discover the wonder among all wonders - that the God who created everything there is - the knowable and the unknowable, the visible and the invisible - wants a personal relationship with them! Invite your kids into the clubhouse and show them the God who is over the moon in love with them.
