Youth

Growing together.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

Here at Central UMC, we strive to provide a welcoming environment where students can find themselves and find God together. Through fellowship, discipleship, and mission opportunities, we will grow with one another as we live out and study the teachings of Christ. Jump in anytime, you are always welcome! During the school year we meet every Sunday for Sunday School at 9am and for Youth Fellowship at 5:30pm. Crossfire Youth Choir meets every Sunday at 4:30pm. Our summer schedule will be posted soon!
