Nursery & Childcare

Manchester UMC’s Nursery Ministry provides loving, nurturing care for our youngest children. Developmentally appropriate toys and activities help them experience God’s love in a Christian environment.

Our goal is to make their church experience a positive one from their very first day.

Sunday morning

The nursery is open on Sunday mornings during the 9 and 11 am worship services.

Nursery care is available for:

  • 9-10a: Children 6 weeks – 2 years old 
  • 11a-noon: Children 6 weeks – 5th Grade

Children 3 years old – 5th Grade are welcome at Sunday School.

Childcare for manchester umc ministries

At times during the week, there is a need for childcare so that parents can participate in classes and/or small groups. Childcare is available for children ages 6 weeks – 5th grade.

A minimum of two Safe Gatherings Certified childcare workers/volunteers, who are knowledgeable in providing developmentally appropriate activities, in a safe and happy environment, will care for your child. Reservations are required by a parent/guardian when registering for a class or small group.

Blessings At Birth

Whenever the parents or guardians contact Manchester UMC and inform them that their new baby arrived, a baby blanket, which has been lovingly made and blessed by the members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, is delivered to the family.
