Excerpt from Pastor Michelle Chappell’s farewell message to Central:
“YOU are the church alive! It’s a privilege to have been a small part in your life. I am grateful for the leadership at Central who lead with such depth of faith and character especially when decisions are difficult. I am truly going to miss the wonderful staff of Central. I know you are in good hands with their leadership.”

Celebrating Pentacost
Located in a “salad bowl of cultures and languages” is Pastor Michelle Chappell’s description of Central United Methodist Church. Our church connects to and serves a diverse population that brings many different languages and colorful native clothing to the sanctuary every Sunday. Pentacost marks the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus after his Ascension when people of many backgrounds were assembled.
Pastor Michelle gives instructions about waving flames for spirit and wind every time the words are mentioned.
