What we do
The Chapel (Downtown Campus)
The Chapel service at our Downtown Campus allows people to encounter God in a more intimate setting in our Memorial Chapel through prayers, familiar hymns, Holy scripture, and the preaching of God’s Word.
Contemporary Service (Downtown Campus)
Our contemporary service, better known as “The Table,” offers an authentic and conversational environment to experience worship and teaching in a more casual setting. The aim of this service is to be organic and Spirit-filled through the sharing of testimony, corporate singing, biblical teaching, and partaking of communion.

We offer child care for children ages eight weeks to K-4. Our nursery is staffed with trained, paid professionals as well as parent volunteers.

Important Update: Motion Passed
On April 12th, our Buncombe Street Church Council (the administrative body which executes our annual Charge Conference) passed a motion that calls for a Church Conference to occur between September 12 and November 18, 2022 on the affiliation question. These actions are two of the three ways, according to our Book of Discipline 2016, to require the District Superintendent to hold a special Church Conference whereby all of our church members may vote on a singular issue – similar to the vote on adopting Trinity UMC in April, 2017. Church Council will be expanding our Way Forward Task Force to add more members at their next meeting on May 10, 2022.
