WHAT TO EXPECT
We’re so glad you’ve decided to visit us! You’ll find a list of commonly asked questions below. If you don’t find what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to send us a message or give us a call at (330) 225-3179.

How do I get there?
We're easy to find! Just look for us at the intersection of Pearl Rd (Rt. 42) and Center Rd (330) across the street from Walgreen's. You can also find our location using the map below.

Where should I park?
Feel free to park anywhere. We have a number of  handicap parking spots near to the entrance and the building itself is handicap accessible, with an elevator just inside the main door.  You will find that there are multiple entrances into the church facilities. No need to worry which one is correct—all of them will get you to where you need to go in a matter of seconds. Please identify yourself to an usher or the greeter at the Welcome Center when you arrive for additional orientation and/or assistance.

What should I wear? 
Brunswick United Methodist has a “come as you are” atmosphere. You will see some people dressed up; some dressed very casually. We have no expectations for attire.

Communion
We believe in and practice Open Communion, so all are welcome to partake of the communion bread and grape juice (we are non-alcoholic) whether or not you're a United Methodist or a member of this church. Children are also welcome to participate, at the discretion of their parent or guardian.

Sunday School
We offer classes for all ages, pre-K through adult, from 10:30-11:30 AM. You're welcome to join a class anytime, no prior Bible knowledge or other prerequisites are necessary.  Ask an usher or the greeter at the Welcome Center to direct you.

Coffee & Fellowship
An informal time of fellowship and refreshment is held every Sunday morning between the two services (approximately10:00-10:30am) in the Gathering Area just outside the sanctuary doors.  It's a great time to connect with the pastors and other worship attendees. On the first Sunday of each month (except for June, July, and August) there is a full hot breakfast for all to enjoy—free of charge—in the North Fellowship Hall from 8:00-10:30 AM.
