At Central UMC, we believe young people are the church of today and the leaders of tomorrow. Next Generation Ministries is a family-focused program that serves those with children aged 0 to 18. Next-Gen events are for the entire family, adults and children. Some events may include a family float trip, back-to-school bash, and trunk or treat. We strive to bond generations through Christian fellowship. |
