Here at Central Community
United Methodist Church our Mission is
“Making
Life Better with Christ at the Center”.
To
move along this spiritual path, we define the steps we will take as our
Vision.
We are a United Methodist Church centered in
Christ’s teaching providing love, hope
and abundant life through meaningful
prayer, worship, pastoral care, service
and outreach.
We strive to be open, friendly, welcoming and comforting to our members,
visitors
and all
others we come in contact with.
Our members are involved in prayer, worship, service to people,
outreach, fellowship,
evangelism and financial support.
