Parking for Non-Church Activities
Student Parking
Oconee Street UMC is two blocks from the UGA School of Social Work and just half a mile from Sanford Stadium in the heart of UGA campus.
To provide a resource to our neighbors while maintaining space for church programs, the church allows parking by permit-only for students commuting to UGA classes and for football fans on game days.
Daytime permits allow students to park at 717 Oconee Street, which is a short walk to the UGA bus line, adjacent to an Athens-Clarke County bus stop and about .3 miles to North Campus. The cost is $150 per semester. Fill out this form or email OconeeStreetUMC@gmail.com for more information or to purchase a pass. [NOTE: We currently are full for Fall 2024.]
Gameday Parking
Gameday parking is available through season passes or on a first-come, first-served basis the day of the game. Tailgaters who pay to park on church property are allowed some access to church facilities, such as bathrooms, and may access their cars at any time to leave. We cannot accommodate overnight parking. To inquire about gameday parking, email the church at OconeeStreetUMC@gmail.com.
All parking proceeds benefit church programs and ministries, including U-Lead scholarships that pay students’ educational expenses.

Policies
Safe Sanctuaries
Oconee Street UMC takes seriously the call to protect children and vulnerable adults from harm. Each year, the church update its policy on protecting vulnerable populations and anyone working with those people — whether staff or volunteer — must undergo training in how to prevent, recognize and report injury or abuse.
Here is the current Safe Sanctuaries policy.
