The following safety measures are in place:
- To protect yourself and others, masks are required and hands sanitized before entry (Hand Sanitizer and masks will be available at the entrance if you need)
- Distance barriers will be placed between pews in the Sanctuary by blocking off every other row. For second service, the distance barriers will be moved to allow the other pews to be used.
- Announcements and Bulletins will be emailed. No bulletins will be distributed on Sunday.
- All items (pens, hymnals, bibles, connection cards, offering envelopes, attendance pads, etc.) in the pews have been removed until further notice.
- Our cleaning service continues to sterilize frequently touched surfaces.
- During in-person worship services, musical offerings will be limited to string, keyboard, and pre-recorded wind and vocal music. Singing of hymns will not occur.
- Offering plates will be on the altar rail in front on both sides of the church. If you usually use offering envelopes with cash donations, please bring your own envelope from home. Checks do not need envelopes.

Welcome to our Church
Welcome! We are delighted that you’ve found our website. We here at Bluffton United Methodist Church hope that, at least, your interest is piqued by what you see here. Our true desire however, is that your excited interest would lead to a visit.
Our central mission spirals outward from the center of our life here at Bluffton United Methodist – our two Worship Services. We worship at 8:30 am and 11:00 am. Both services are traditional, with the latter service having a more musical emphasis. Majority opinion conveys that we are a warm and welcoming community of believers who worship in a small, intimate setting.
As you seek to live out Hebrews 10:25, we hope that you will join us at Bluffton United Methodist Church. We would love to see you!
