Burlingame UMC exists so that all are:
INVITED into our faith community,
INSPIRED by the life-changing love of God, and
EMPOWERED to be followers of Jesus.
All people are of sacred worth; no exceptions!
The church was born multicultural, and the Spirit was given to the Church in a multilingual context. We believe God is more comfortable and pleased when we model diversity of God’s kingdom; therefore, we value diversity and respect a culture of individuals, as we work at building an inclusive community.
All persons are individuals of sacred worth. Burlingame United Methodist Church affirms Jesus’ example of love without reservation, and we commit to being compassionate and just with one another. Burlingame United Methodist Church openly welcomes all people of any age, gender identity, race, ethnic origin, economic reality, family status, sexual orientation, diverse ability or social standing as full participants in the life and work of this church. We recognize that there are differences among us, but believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike. We invite all people to join us in our faith journey toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect.

“If you are looking for a church community that is non-judgmental and uplifting, I hope you’ll give BUMC a try. I’m so very glad that I decided to stop in and check it out. I think you’d be glad if you did too.”
