SERVICE TIMES & LOCATION

Join Us Every Week!

We meet every Sunday, both in person and online, and we’d love to get to know you. There’s something special about gathering for in-person worship—seeing familiar faces, sharing smiles, and enjoying meaningful conversations. But we understand that isn’t always possible. When you’re unable to join us at Shandon, we hope you’ll worship with us online.

PRESCHOOL

A nurturing place where children learn, grow, build friendships, and experience God’s love.

We’re glad you’re interested in Shandon Preschool and Kindergarten, a ministry serving both Shandon UMC members and the Columbia community. We provide high-quality childcare for children ages six weeks to five years in a caring, nurturing environment. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to each child’s growth, learning, and development. The preschool is led by a Director and Assistant Director and guided by a Board of Directors under Shandon UMC’s Church Council.
