Strengthening our community across generations.

What We Do

Child Development Center

We are committed to giving all families access to excellent child development services that help prepare children to thrive in school and throughout their lives.

Youth Programs

We provide opportunities to stay busy, learn new skills, strengthen social relationships, reinforce learning, and to have new experiences while parents are at work.

Senior Programs

We offer a welcoming and caring environment at our Senior Center, where older adults can feel a sense of community and belonging.

Fresh Market

The Fresh Market at UMCH is the newest initiative by United Methodist Community House designed to offer affordable access to healthy, locally sourced food to Kent County residents while supporting Michigan growers and good food systems.
