The United Methodist Community House is a non-profit agency based in Grand
Rapids, Michigan with a mission to increase the ability of children, youth,
adults and families to succeed in a diverse community.
The history of the
United Methodist Community House (UMCH) can be traced back to 1902 when a group
of Methodist women came together from the First United Methodist Church of Grand Rapids came together to
do settlement work. Through the years, the program was expanded to meet the
growing needs of the community. Today, UMCH is truly a place where the community
gravitates for its daily necessities. The UMCH collaborates with area agencies
to offer a range of family friendly programs, from childcare to family
and senior programs.
