At Birmingham UMC, our mission is to build a community where people who have a church home, and people who do not, are becoming deeply rooted Christian disciples.
We strongly encourage you to wear a mask inside the Sanctuary as this recent surge in Omnicron has infected several staff and congregation members.
The church is located at 15770 Birmingham Highway in Milton, Georgia–just south of the intersection of Birmingham Highway and Birmingham Road. There are two entrances onto the property.
The Sanctuary and Education Building are in the main building located toward the back of our 63-acre property.
To find the main building from the north entrance, drive past the Student Center/Chapel, then by the ballfield into the main parking lot. The main building will be on the right.
If you enter from the south entrance, you will pass the Memorial Gardens into the main parking lot. Visitor parking is available.
We love kids! If you have a young child, there is a cry room in the Sanctuary where you can still see & hear the service. Nursery (birth – 5 years old) is available at both 10A.M. for worship and 11:15A.M. for Sunday School in the downstairs of the education building.
Elementary aged children will start with their parents in worship. They will leave for Children’s Church after the Children’s Moment in the service and head with their teachers to the downstairs of the education building. At 11:15A.M. elementary-aged children will stay downstairs for different programming for Sunday School.
You can register your family into our check-in system ahead of time. Click here to do so.
All youth are encouraged to worship with their families at 10A.M. in the Sanctuary.
At 11:15A.M. middle & high school students will meet in the Student Center (by Birmingham Highway) for RISE Groups. To learn more about the youth program click here.
Our worship service at Birmingham UMC is one of a kind. We blend traditional elements such as the Apostle’s Creed & a full choir singing hymns with a modern praise band. In fact, it’s one of things people love most about our church – there’s a little bit of something for everyone.
Birmingham UMC is located on 63 acres, two thirds of which are set aside in a natural setting as a sanctuary, a venue for one’s spirit to rest and recreate.
There are three miles of hiking trails, streams, footbridges, many gathering spaces, an outdoor Vesper Chapel, a large outdoor amphitheater, a baseball field and plenty of room for individuals and small groups to experience private time with God.
Rev. Dr. Brent Ward has served at Birmingham UMC for eight years. He is from the great state of Iowa. As a child he attended church until the age of five, but did not make a commitment to Christ until between his ninth and tenth grade year at a camp called Summer Games. Camp Ministry holds a special place in Pastor Brent’s heart. Learn more about the senior pastor here.

Birmingham UMC is United Methodist Church. We are committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We serve our community and help people grow in their faith.
As Methodists, we believe in a Triune God; in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We believe in God’s grace, which is offered to all people. For this reason, our Communion table is open to all people who desire to partake in the Lord’s Supper. As a United Methodist Church, we uphold the United Methodist Book of Discipline, which guides our church structure and leadership. This book is derived from the teachings and methods of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement.
