Why We Come to Worship

‘Touching Hearts And Transforming Lives’ perfectly defines our worship experience. Our hearts are touched by the compassion and generosity of our fellow worshippers and we are trans-formed by the quality of the worship experience that challenges us to spiritual growth and motivation to be better

Christians.” – John & Martha Martinez

“I truly love to worship each Sunday morning & soak in every part of the service. It’s a joy to be in fellowship with so many wonderful people at BUMC. Worshipping & praising Him is my expression of prayerful gratitude for the gift of Christ’s unwavering steadfast love, representing truth & grace upon the cross.” – Karen Simpson

“We try to love and worship God every day and to be His instrument in the world. One part of this is we come to Sunday worship to praise and glorify God with other believers. Our hope is that we leave (worship) more reflective of the One who has been worshipped.” – Bill & Shelley Prevost

“We come to worship to be reminded of the sacrifice Christ made for us and to hear beautiful and inspiring music. We also love the fellowship of our family and the connection we get by uniting with our Sunday school family to lift each other up in prayer and celebrate our praises together.” – Jarod & Ali Peace
