Framework of the Church
Held in Hands of  the People

  The church, according to poet Ann Weems, is supposed to be a place where the "anthem is the laughter of children," "the minister is ministered to," and "the offering plates are overflowing with people".
   I love this poem. I believe she has captured a small picture of God's plan for His church. You see, I know that the church is not a building. It is the people. Throughout the history
of God's "church" the gathering of His people has been held in many places: homes, caves, open fields, catacombs, and expansive cathedrals.
  
All of these places have held the church at various times. For us here, now in this time, our framework for the church is being held in your hands. It is in the lives of the people you will contact daily through Email or this web site and in the lives of people not yet a part of this fellowship. Use these tools to pray for one another. Use them to make a difference in lives. Use them to build the church in this space, in this time, in keeping with God's plan.
                Looking forward to communicating together.

       Rev. Teressa Clyde

We Are Building Upon Faith

Central  Community  United  Methodist  Church

     CCUMC had its beginnings on November 28, 1971, in an old school building on Highway 39 in Shell Knob.  On March 12, 1972, forty-seven people signed the roll as Charter Members.
     Services were held in the Shell Knob Community
Building while a new church building was under construction at the
present site on Highway YY. 

The first service in the new $75,000 edifice was on December 16, 1973. 
     Dedication of the Church was on March 23, 1980.

     Ground was broken in August of 1981 for the addition of a $175,000 sanctuary, and on Palm Sunday in 1986 the addition was
dedicated to Christ. 
     A residence for our pastor was completed in 1986 on property
adjoining the Church.

     In 1999, a new building addition was completed.  Included in the
new facility are a multi-purpose room with a regulation sized
basketball court, a commercial kitchen, 5 class/conference rooms,
office space, with additional second floor expansion space for future
multi-purpose rooms.
