Christ Church By The Sea UM Children Center is a community of people mostly from Newport Beach and Costa Mesa who gather weekly on the Balboa Peninsula to celebrate the love of god and to grow in faith together through learning, praying, having fun, and serving others.
We are young, seniors and every age in between.
We love the tiniest ones in our midst, celebrate the creativity and wisdom of children, and rejoice in the exuberance of youth.
We are grateful for the variety of experience and knowledge which comes with adulthood and appreciate the wisdom of our elders.
