Nursery Ministries

The Nursery Ministry is an extension of Dunwoody UMC’s vision to be a church that leads with the love of Christ and welcomes all to strengthen ourselves, neighbors and neighborhoods. Nursery care is available to visitors and church members on Sunday morning and Wednesday Night Supper. At Dunwoody UMC, we aren’t just here for you on Sundays. One of our most popular and appreciated ministries is our weekday drop-in childcare program, Playtime at Dunwoody UMC. All children are welcome to attend any day you need a little extra help meeting the time demands of your daily life. Also, Playtime at Dunwoody UMC offers an excellent starting point for children just leaving parents, caregivers, and home for the first time.
