Baptism

Infant Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is considered a high moment in the life of our church. If you are a member of BSUMC and would like for your infant or young child to be baptized, we ask that you complete the form below:

Adult Baptism

Teens and adults may present themselves for baptism and make their public profession of faith at the same time. We ask that they first complete our Engage Class for new members and meet briefly with one of our pastors. Adults and teens may be baptized by sprinkling in our traditional services or by sprinkling or immersion in our contemporary service.

If you have additional questions about what the United Methodist Church believes about baptism, check out this FAQ.

Members of Buncombe Street United Methodist Church or children of members may use our worship spaces for weddings and receptions. In order for a wedding to be placed on the church calendar, these persons must have been members of the church for at least one (1) year. The spaces available include:

Funerals

It is our honor to assist families, members, ministers, and funeral homes in planning and conducting comforting, reverent funerals at the church. For more information or questions on planning a funeral at Buncombe Street UMC, contact Rev. Grover Putnam.
