Here's what to expect when visiting Somerville FUMC for the first time:

First, all of our children's classes are located in our Christian Activity center across the street from our sanctuary.

There we will meet your family, and one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.

Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information

(NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):

• Parent/Guardian Names(s)
• Child's Name
• Child's Birthdate
• Home Address
• Phone Number
• Any Special Instructions (allergies, special needs, etc.) for Your Children

Mrs. Alice Holden is one of Somerville MC's very best treasures! She has been with us in the nursery for 15 years and is one of the most friendly, nurturing, and energetic people you will meet.
