to become the ONE community God wants us to be. . .”

Welcome to Central United Methodist Church.

I am glad you have chosen to spend a few moments looking around, discovering our church family. As I describe Central to people, I like to use words like ‘community’ and ‘family.’  We reflect the community of which we are proud to be a part of, with folks from all continents of the world.  Our hope is that all people will feel loved and welcomed at Central.  While you are browsing our website, you will learn about our programs and get a glimpse of who we are, but only a glimpse. To fully understand us, come and worship with us.  Enjoy the website, then come. We’d love to meet you and know you.                                                                              —-Pastor Pam Blackstock

Radical Hospitality:  Dinner Church at Central on second Saturday of the Month

Meal, music and a message is offered to community friends for folks who have possibly never experienced radical hospitality or unconditional love.  Hosted by Bette Nazarchyk and Bobbie Denny, Dinner Church needs volunteers and speakers who would like to give a testimony.  On March 14, Ashley Pimentel spoke about her journey to become a teacher and what it means now.  Children of the World Learning Center provided the music.
