			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Adults and youth are invited to become professing members of Central United Methodist Church. Membership involves confessing one’s faith in God, accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, baptism (if not previously baptized), and vows to support the Church by one’s prayers, presence, gift, service and witness. All this is based not on our own merit, but on our accepting God’s grace and the covenant God offers. Confirmation classes are held every other year to give youth (7th grade and up) the opportunity to study our faith and consider making this commitment. Membership orientation classes are offered by the pastor for adults interested in exploring the meaning of membership and learning about the Christian faith, the Methodist heritage and the life of Central Church. The pastor will also gladly meet with persons individually who wants to discuss faith and consider joining the church. Call the church office to let the pastor know of your interest.</p>
