Endwell Preschool... A Mission of the Church since 1967

Endwell Preschool has been a mission of the Endwell United Methodist Church for over 55 years! We have a program for three-year-old children called Smart Play-3’s. They attend school four half days per week. Our four-year-old children are in the Universal Pre-Kindergarten program five full-days per week. Our staff is zealous about educating pre-school children and come highly qualified and committed to the program. It is exciting to watch them grow and learn throughout their time in our program. We thank our church family for their support. We thank our board for their continued direction and support.

Our Mission Statement

It is our intent to provide a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social-emotional, and intellectual development of young children.       Parents are the children’s’ first teacher and we strive to develop a warm, supportive relationship. Our classrooms are designed with learning centers, which give children the opportunity to play and learn individually and in groups.

Lord's Table Monday Evening Meals

The Lord’s Table is our Monday night dinner that has been offered by the church for over 25 years, to those in need in the community.

Every Monday from 3:00-5:00 pm we serve dinner to those in the community who have a need. This is open to anyone in the community and is operated by over 30 dedicated workers, cooks, hosts, and cleanup crews. At the present time, we serve a take-out of hot dinners to over 200 people. We also transport meals to those that are unable to pick them up for themselves.

Food Bank Distribution Site

On the first Monday of every month, the Southern Tier Food Bank trucks arrive from Elmira, unloading thousands of pounds of food items. Inside Endwell UMC’s Fellowship Hall, volunteers start assembling boxes and filling them to the brim with healthy, fresh food. We currently serve over 200 families starting at 9 AM each first Monday of the month.

College Outreach

Several times during the School Year our College Ministry Team collects and ships care packages to our College-bound students. This is always a welcome gift as students get ready for exams as they wrap up each semester. Watch the weekly bulletin for exact dates.
