At Mentor UMC we are committed to developing and maturing disciples of Jesus Christ, including children! From birth through sixth grade, the children come into contact with Jesus and, alongside loving, faithful adults, they become familiar with the stories and teachings of the Bible. These gifted and talented adults encourage learning in a creative, supportive and age-appropriate environment, nurturing children's growth in faith.
