Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." - Matthew 19:14 (NRSV)
Sunday School
Our nursery, Pre-K room, and children's Sunday school classrooms begin at 10am on Sunday mornings! The nursery and Pre-K room are fully stocked with age-appropriate toys, activities, and resources for even the littlest child of God to have a joyful time at church. Sunday school for kindergarteners through high schoolers includes an opening game or activity, a lesson, and a time of prayer.
All ages 5 and above are invited to join us for Sunday worship at 11am. The nursery and Pre-K rooms are open for kids ages 0-4 to play and fellowship together during our 11am worship service.
Chatham County Teacher Workday ChildCare Program
At MPUMC, we recognize and understand that finding childcare for elementary-aged children is a challenge. We provide low-cost childcare on 8 of the Chatham County Teacher Workdays. This program is led by program director Lauren Wert, who structures the days, and plans, implements, and supervises activities. Children are divided into age-appropriate groups, and each group has 2 adult leaders. This program is designed to provide elementary aged children from Pre-K to 5th grade a safe, welcoming, loving place to be on Teacher Workdays, and it is designed to address a real need and challenge for parents and our Chatham County community. For more information about this program, email the church at mpumcchildcare@gmail.com.

Easter Egg Hunt
Easter is a great time in the church when we celebrate our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We love to celebrate with our community by hosting an Easter egg hunt! We have three egg hunting areas - an open field for the littlest littles, the playground area for elementary aged kids, and an "advanced hunt" for older kids. The 2024 Easter egg hunt is scheduled for Sunday, March 24! Check back later for the time.
Playground Project
We have been hard at work renovating our playground so it is welcoming, inviting, and FUN for children of all ages! Our playground has swings for babies and toddlers, swings for the big kid in all of us, a basketball net, and a play set with two slides, rock wall feature, and a wheel and binoculars for imaginative play! Come and embrace the kid in all of us!
