What To Expect
“Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.” Matthew 10:40

Welcome to Hayes Barton United Methodist Church! Much awaits you here and we’re happy to introduce you to all that our church community has to offer. ImageAs you arrive at HBUMC, please enjoy the convenience of our “first-time visitor” parking spaces located in the parking lot at the corner of Fairview Road and Stone Street. Additional parking spaces are available in the lot at the corner of Fairview Road and Reid Street as well as along the neighborhood streets that surround our campus.  See our parking map.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have returned for another service, we are happy to see you. Greeters are easily identified at all entry areas by their yellow “Welcome!” badges and are ready to assist you with questions regarding worship services, Sunday school classes, the nursery, children’s programs and more. On your initial visit to HBUMC, please stop by our Visitor’s Desk in the Narthex, just to the left of the elevator doors. We have a gift for you!

As you enter the worship areas, ushers are on hand to distribute bulletins and provide seating assistance. During the worship service, help us get to know you better by filling out the pew cards. Cards are located in the burgundy books at the end of the pew row closest to the center aisle and are passed during the Offertory part of the service.

Should you have questions during the week or would like to learn more about membership opportunities at HBUMC, Jennifer Hollerung, Director of Evangelism, looks forward to your inquiry. Please contact her by phone (919-832-6435) or email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ). Talking with Jennifer can provide wonderful insight to the great things happening at our church on Sundays and throughout the week.

We welcome all of God’s children to our family. We invite you to join in the joyful worship and celebration through the service we offer to God, as we strive to grow in our Christian faith.
