Though the final administrative decisions for the church are made by the Leadership Team, most of hands-on decision-making for the church and building are made by our Ministry Teams. Each team is made up of lay people serving three-year terms. For more information on what a team’s responsibility is, or to inquire about serving on a team, feel free to contact the chairperson.
Buffalo United Methodist Church is a church where lay people are encouraged to lead the ministries of the church. The pastor and staff provide support and resources for all people in leadership positions so that together we can offer a wide variety of ministries that grow disciples and deepen our faith, as well as reach out to the world as Jesus has shown us.
Administrative decisions are made in our local church by a board called the Leadership Team. Current chairperson is Peter Bedker. Other team members include representatives from all ministry teams, two at-large positions, the lay leader, and staff members including the pastor and the lay associate minister.
We are a connectional church affiliated with United Methodist Worldwide. For more information on United Methodist beliefs, values and worldwide missions, visit the MN Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church www.minnesotaumc.org.
