"Let the little children come to me: do not stop them for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs."  Mark 10:14

Just as Jesus did, we welcome children to the ministries of Myers Park United Methodist Church.  At Myers Park, children are an active, vital part of our church community.


All children's activities relate to the vision of our church which includes growth in faith, service to others, Christian love for others, and sharing of the Word.

If you have any questions or comments please contact Sarah Sumner, Director of Children's Ministries by phone 704.295.4814 or email sarah@mpumc.org.
