Central United Methodist Church / Founded in 1844
Welcome to Central United Methodist Church, where everyone is central!
How is Central UMC different?
Central UMC has been, and will continue to be, a congregation “central to its city,” with strong
commitments to innovative and culturally relevant ministry, social justice, inclusivity and diversity.
We practice radical hospitality, passionate worship, intentional faith development,
risk-taking missions and extravagant generosity.
What is expected of me as a member of the church?
You are asked to participate faithfully in its ministries by your prayers, your presence, your gifts and
your service…to repent of your sins, believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit…receive and profess
the Christian faith as contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments…and promise to keep
God’s will and commandments.
Central UMC Mission
Central United Methodist Church celebrates Christ's unconditional love that changes lives every day, as together
we reach up to God, reach within ourselves, and reach out to the world.
