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!
