Where do I park and enter the building?
Plenty of parking is available in our main parking lot as well as some spaces along Main Street directly in front of the church. You can enter the church through the main front doors that lead directly to our sanctuary. You may also enter our Christian Life Center (the large building near the back of the parking lot), and there is an area in the lobby where someone will be happy to answer your questions.
I’m parked, now where do I go?
We have two main buildings at Buford First UMC that are each connected by a covered walkway. The Sanctuary building is where we hold our traditional worship services every Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. and at 11:00 a.m. The church offices are also located in this building. You can enter the Sanctuary from the main front entrance or the side entrance from the parking lot. Should you need to make your way to the Christian Life Center (CLC), exit the Sanctuary through the side entrance (near the piano) and walk under the covered walkway to the entrance of the CLC.
How long are the worship services?
Each worship service usually lasts about one hour.
What should I wear?
We invite you to dress as you feel comfortable. You will observe suits and ties, casual dress clothes, and jeans with comfortable shirts.
What about my children?
Children are always welcome in our worship services. We also provide child care for infants and toddlers at both of our worship services and during our Sunday School hour at 10 a.m. Visit the Children’s ministry page for more information or ask one of our ushers or greeters at the doors of our sanctuary and CLC for assistance.
