WELCOME! Mequon United Methodist Church welcomes you as a partner in your child or children’s faith development. We are here to provide you with resources to help you guide your family through the developmental stages ahead, firmly grounded in faith. As your children grow, your needs and theirs change – and we are here to help. Here are some of the programs you can find at MUMC.
HOW does GOD CONNECT

SPIRITUAL FORMATION
On Sunday mornings, children in preschool through elementary school gather for active explorations of faith together. Each week the children encounter the Biblical message in a new form - including occasional movie mornings (complete with freshly-popped popcorn) - as our children grow actively in faith. Parents, please print out and fill out the registration form and permission slip above, and bring it to church on Sunday morning, or mail it in.

CIRCUIT SUNDAY NIGHT
On Sunday nights at 4:00 PM throughout the school year, we offer special programs for children and their families. This includes a favorite family event - an indoor MUMC Drive-In Movie night.We gather for more hands-on Biblical explorations, including events like Passport to Norway and our Step By Step Program, which created stepping stones for our playground and parsonage (see photos below). All evening programs include dinner for the whole family. Photos below are from our Step to Step Lenten Workshop.
