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. 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 currently offer classes for children and youth ages pre-K through high school at 10:00 AM, at the same time as the morning worship service. Adult classes and Young Adult classes meet together following the worship service and coffee hour at 11:00 AM. Pastor Tom's Bible Study meets during the week on either Monday or Thursday at 1pm. You're welcome to join a class any time, any week — no prior Bible knowledge or other prerequisites are ever necessary. Ask an usher or the greeter at the Welcome Center to direct you.
Nursery
Nursery service is available during the morning worship hour, if desired. But we also enjoy having little ones in our midst and welcome a little baby noise. There is a rocking chair in the parlor adjacent to the sanctuary for quiet relaxation. The parlor is equipped with speakers, so you can relax with baby and listen to the service at the same time.
Coffee & Fellowship
An informal time of fellowship and refreshment is held every Sunday morning after the worship service in the Gathering Area just outside the sanctuary doors. It's a great time to connect with the pastors and other worship attendees.
