Burbank First United Methodist Church

Highly recommend! The service is at 9:30 on Sunday. Most recently, summer 2015, a new and energetic Pastor Sam Kim has joined the church and the experience on Sunday mornings and beyond is exactly what we are looking for. Lots of families with school age children attend making the environment a great place to meet other families. Our kids ages 12 and 13 really enjoy coming to church and to be with the friends they’ve made: We have a church home here in Burbank!

My family and i have been coming to BFUMC for about 6 years now. I have volunteered in the Sunday School program and have found the teachers to be warm and caring. THe Halloween Festival we did this past Friday night is always such a great time. I love seeing being a part of the out-​reach program and only hope that more families come and join us!

My family and I have attended BFUMC for thirteen years and it is wonderful church. I have always felt welcome. We not only attend services, but also events such as church family camp, the outreach dance program, VBS, youth events, family dinner nights, etc. We have a fabulous Sunday School leader and Youth leader, along with many other caring and supportive staff members. We will continue to call this church our home.

My family and I have attended First United Methodist Church for 15 years and it’s become a very important part of our lives. My kids went through Sunday School, attended the Youth Foundation and were confirmed in that church. It’s a warm and loving congregation, combined with supportive and caring clergy, that gives my family and I a real sense of being a part of a Christian community.

I am sorry that there was a poor experience by the previous reviewer, however that is not indicative of this church. My family was not a regular church going group before we found this church. The same Angie that the lady referred to below, welcomed us with open arms and encouraged us to participate in the activities. Our kids have been going here for close to 4 years and we are happy to have found a friendly church community. Sadly Angie is no longer at BFUMC but it is still a welcoming and fun church.
Our Church is members of the Family Promise, where churches house homeless families for a week. We have a yearly Vacation Bible School in the summer. There is a kids choir and amazing adult choir. There is also classes for yoga, dancing and singing. These are just to name a few of activities.
I know we have many special needs members and a few special needs kids that participate in church activities, so I find it hard to believe that Angie would have purposely excluded a child for this reason. There is a nursery and Sunday school for kids below 5^th grade to participate in during church services. There is also youth group with an energetic leader for the older kids.
If you are looking for a friendly church please check us out. We also have a nice fellowship hour after services that you are welcome to enjoy.
