Grow together in faith

Sundays at Manchester UMC, offer several different ways for the children of God and their families to grow in their faith and understanding of the Bible as they experience God with each other . Our staff and dedicated volunteers are called to make sure our children and families always feel welcome, safe and cared for by adults who model God’s love. We invite you to join us as we play and work each week to grow deeper in our learning together.
