What programs do you have for children?
Currently we provide nursery care for infants through preschoolers each Sunday morning from 9:00am-1:00pm. Separate classes for elementary age children (K-6th graders) and youth (7th –12th graders) are held each Sunday morning from 9:00-10:00am.
Our youth ministry involves frequent mission and service projects as well as occasional opportunities for fellowship and fun! Eating is one of our favorite things to do.

Can I get my baby baptized there?
Baptism is a Holy Sacrament of the Christian church and is practiced within the Methodist tradition as part of a weekly Sunday worship service. It is a rite of Christian initiation requiring preparation and commitment on the part of the parents and/or sponsors including meeting with the pastor and demonstrable practices of the Christian faith. For more information, please contact the pastor at 652-8411 or at pastor.mtlebanonumc@verizon.net.

What is the church policy on weddings?
Our church is available for the celebration of Christian wedding ceremonies. We hold Christian marriage as a service of public worship and seek to celebrate this spiritual covenant with dignity yet allowing for individual expression. Christian marriage is different from civil marriage ceremonies that establish secular contracts. Christian marriage is the declaration, establishment and blessing of a relationship between each individual, the couple and God.
Our church sanctuary provides a beautiful and intimate setting for weddings and seats 150 people. Interested couples must first meet with the pastor for an initial consultation before a date can be reserved and three pre-marital counseling/conversations are required. Reservations generally should be set and approved at least six months prior to the intended date. Wedding fees include:
the Church fee for the rehearsal and wedding, $250;
the Sexton charge, $80;
the Organist Fee, $150 (with additional charge for extra rehearsals)
