Welcome to Central
United Methodist Church.
WE WELCOME ALL. WE WELCOME YOU.
Central United Methodist Church is committed to loving God and loving neighbor with our whole selves-heart, mind, soul, and strength. We believe that all persons are of sacred worth and dignity as part of God's creation, as demonstrated by the ministry of Jesus Christ. We therefore welcome all persons into the life and ministry of our congregation. We welcome, affirm, and celebrate people of all races, cultures, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, socioeconomic status, education, physical and mental abilities, or faith histories.
Visit Central
Worship is one of the highlights of ministry at Central UMC. We invite you to be our special guest! Join us for a service with inspiring music and message on Sunday mornings at 11:00am in the sanctuary. All are welcome! Visit this page if you would like more information about what to expect.
Ash Wednesday Service
Wednesday, February 14, begins the holy season of Lent, a time of reflection and intentionality. We begin these 40 days leading up to Easter with worship and ashes, a humbling reminder of who we are and whose we are. You are invited to join in this meaningful ritual at 6:30pm in the sanctuary.
Messy Church
Come explore what it means to be created in God's image with friends, faith, food, and fun at Messy Church. Messy Church will meet on Sunday, February 18 from 4-6pm in the Fellowship Hall at Central. Everyone from the young to the young at heart are welcome!
The Last Week
During Wednesday evenings throughout the Lenten season, you are invited to this study of the last week of Jesus’s life. Led by a highly esteemed group of pastors and lay theologians, this course will invite you to look at Jesus’s life and the gospel of Mark in a new way. Each week will focus on a different portion of this important journey. Read more here.
