Expect to be welcomed at Central United Methodist Church. The building is large and well-laid-out for its purpose to serve a variety of ministries. The Sanctuary was built in 1925, Finke Hall (the office and classroom area) in 1958, the Central Child Care wing in 1999 and the Family Life Center in 2006. You might think you need a map to get around the first couple of times, but friendly people are here to welcome you and help you find your way. The congregation is varied in age with many wise seniors, vibrant middle-aged adults, growing families with children of all ages, and active youth. CUMC offers two Sunday morning worship services for different tastes and time schedules. The 8:30 service is intimate, informal in style and contemporary in its music, where worship is done in a horseshoe of chairs in the Garden Room, on the first floor below the Sanctuary. Worship at 10:30 in our beautiful Sanctuary is more traditional in music and liturgy, but it also has a friendly and informal style that lets people feel welcome. We are kid-friendly with: Sunday School classes planned to help children experience God, a nursery staffed all morning for infants and toddlers, and during the 10:30 service a children’s message followed by Kid’s Club for children through 5th grade. An active Youth Group meets Wednesday evenings during the school year plus for many special events, and a youth class meets during Sunday School. Also at 9:30, seven adult Sunday School classes offer a vital place of study and fellowship for a variety of ages and interests. During the week you will find many opportunities for study, service, fellowship and help with the needs of life.
