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
