Central

Youth

Your teen's decisions will ultimately decide their paths as they grow into adulthood. Central's Youth Ministries is geared to raise a generation of committed followers of Jesus Christ by providing students of all ages opportunities for close fellowship with other students and committed adults. Small groups, Sunday School events, retreats, and more will keep your students grounded in faith and provide discipleship opportunities.

We would love for your student to join us on Wednesday or Sunday evenings. Please fill out the form below to register your student with CUMC Youth.

Weekly Program and Special Events

Sunday Mornings

Join us for Sunday School each week at 10 a.m. in the Student Ministries Building on the 2nd floor.  

Youth Sunday School is a time for students to decompress from their past week and support one another in their everyday lives. Along with checking in with each other in fellowship, we have a light devotional time to leave students with a fresh start to the upcoming week. 

Sunday Nights

Sunday Night Youth is a time for small groups and worship. Let's do life together through small group devotions and fellowship. Worship for the 2024-2025 year is designed for life application. We use topics that we all live with and learn how faith and scripture can guide us. We meet on Sunday evenings from 5-7 p.m. throughout the school year.

Wednesday Nights
Do you need a place to decompress and hang out with friends after school? Yes, then Wednesday Hang Time is for you! Bring a friend and come hang in the SMB from after school until 7:30 p.m., and then join us for dinner in the CAC.
