Welcome!

We believe that the First United

Center is summoned by God to
proclaim the Gospel of Jesus
Christ by ministering to young
children and their families by
providing a quality educational
program which promotes
developmentally appropriate

socially, emotionally, and
cognitively.  We welcome families
of all races and creeds.
