Welcome to
Manchaca UMC!
We're So Happy to Have You!
There are two ways to access our church from FM 1626:
-
The East parking lot is accessed from Deane Drive. Due to an accident at our West door, the East entrance is the best way to access our building.
-
To get to the West parking lot, turn onto Lowden Lane, then take the first left (there will be a sign pointing to us!). Please note that the main West door is unusable right now due to a previous accident.
The two parking lots are connected by a road around the back.

Are children allowed in worship?At Manchaca UMC, we love kids! We encourage families to bring children to worship. Wiggles and little voices are welcome; no one is bothered by kid-noises. In fact, we love it when children learn through observation and worship alongside us. If they're comfortable, they're even able to come forward for a special Children's Sermon every week. If you feel as though your little children aren't able to do a full service, we do have a nursery for kids up to 5 years old, if you prefer. Between the services, we also offer children's Sunday school for children 3 years old - 5th grade, as well as for older children and youth. You can learn more on our Children and Youth pages.

Do you provide Sunday School classes?We have a variety of Sunday School classes available for all ages! All classes meet from 10:15 - 11:00 am on Sunday mornings, between the worship services. There are multiple children's classes based on age. To find more information about what's available and to find your child's class, visit our Children's Sunday School page. The youth (both middle and high school students) meet in the Youth Room in our upstairs wing. To see information on that class, visit our Youth page. We have many adult classes that you can attend. Some meet in the main building, and others will meet in the Family Life Center. To find the class that fits best for you, visit our Adult Sunday School page.

Welcome! Bienvenidos!
At Manchaca United Methodist Church we strive to share in the relationships Jesus commanded while loving God and our neighbor. "Neighbor" is a term we use to describe all of God’s people. As you gather with us, we hope that you are heard, respected, and engaged in faith practices of worship, fellowship, study, and service. We are connected in covenant with other United Methodist congregations in the Rio Texas Annual Conference. You can learn more about our Conference at www.riotexas.org.
So, allow me to say again, Welcome child of God. You are loved here. We look forward to meeting you and learning more about you.
