BUMC members benefit from a vibrant and active Christian education program with a Sunday Church School that serves all of the children and youth of the church and many adults. Elementary and youth fellowship programs encourage spiritual development and Christian values in a fun setting that keeps kids coming back. Adult programs explore biblical, theological and social topics while helping to strenghten our community ties.

Children

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. Deuteronomy 4:9.
