Ministry Plan - "Central to our City"

"For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your
welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."  Jeremiah 29:11

In February, 2008, Central UMC adopted a bold new Ministry Plan to guide the devleopment of our ministries,
facilities, and resources to realize the following fruits:

  • /files/General/Umclogo.jpgIndividual spirtual growth, evidenced by increased faithfulness in worship, prayer, Christian formation, service, giving, and tithing.
  • Grow 10% per year in average worship attendance (indicating present health, vitality, and fruitfulness of our ministries).
  • Grow 10% per year in professions of faith and baptisms (indicating future health, vitality, and fruitfulness of our ministries). 
  • Begin one new outreach ministry per year in our local community.
  • Begin one new worship service and/or Christian formation experience (i.e., small group, support group, Bible study) per year to reach the local community.
  • By 2019 (Central's 175th birthday), be a lead congregation in urban mainline ministry in innovative ministry models, collaborative community services, hospitable facilities, relevant worship, and Christian formation.

To that end, Central has appointed a Building Committee, started Ministry Teams, and selected a consultant to
conduct a feasibility study for a capital campaign. Check back here frequently for updates on the process of realizing God's bold new vision for Central.
