The Power Program of Central United Methodist Church is an outreach to the Jacobsville neighborhood and has been in existence for nearly 20 years. The program was begun as an after school snack program and has now evolved into tutoring, recreation, snacks, and a Saturday morning playground. All activities are supervised and there is no cost for any activities.

Tutoring
Tutoring is offered on Tuesday and Thursday of each week from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. There have been students from UE and USI to help with tutoring as well as retired teachers who are members of Central Church. Children are encouraged to bring homework; however, if they come to tutoring without homework, we have an extensive library of children’s books, a computer lab with educational software, and a variety of games, puzzles, and flashcards.

POWER
Power is offered on Wednesday evenings. We meet from 4:00 until 6:00 for recreation and a hot meal. The meal is prepared and served by our adult Sunday School classes.

T-n-T
T-n-T is our summer recreation program. The children are provided with at least two activities per week during the summer. Programs may be at the church where we utilize our Family Life Center or the Art Room, or they may be off-site for swimming, bowling, the Children’s Museum, or other fun activities. Days and times may vary, but a monthly calendar is provided to the families.
