 ​​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.

Messy Christmas

December 22 from 5:30-7:30pm

Come celebrate Christmas with food, fun, friends, and faith! Messy Christmas is an interactive celebration of the the gift of Jesus for people of all ages. Come hungry and ready to get messy! We'll start the night with a free dinner followed by Christmas crafts, activities, and celebration. It is the perfect way to celebrate with family. This year, Messy Christmas will meet at St. James UMC located at 213 N. Lanford Road. All are welcome!

The Christmas Sheep Trail

A Christmas scavenger hunt that is free and fun for everyone!

​Our shepherds heard the good news about God’s gift to the world! They want to go see the baby Jesus with the other shepherds but can’t find their sheep. All our shepherds know is that the sheep are in these shops in downtown Spartanburg. Will you help them find their missing sheep? Find out how here.
