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.

Sunday Morning information

PLEASE be sure to sign your children in for all ages on Sunday mornings. Pastor Tammy or a helper will be available to assist with the computer check in system. We are currently signing in with the computers AND writing names on sticky name tags while figuring out the printer issues.
Children ages 0-5 go to the Early Childhood Area prior to the start of service; grades K-6 will begin in worship with their families and then be dismissed to the Education Wing.
