Central United Methodist Church is the Church at the Heart of the City with the City at Heart!" We are a historic black church congregation founded in 1866 who has been making history ever since and we aren't done! God is guiding us now as work to realize our vision to be "A Christ-Centered, Radically Inclusive, Intergenerational Congregation that uses its Spiritual Gifts to meet the needs of our Unique Surrounding Community." We are one church with two very different worship experiences on Sunday's. 1. 8:00 am Traditions Worship Experience (rotating choirs) 2. 11:00 am Centered Worship Experience (static praise and worship band)
Both services offer a nursery, children's church (on 2nd and 4th Sundays), and a great sermon! Join us!"
