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. |

Safe Gatherings

Safe Gatherings is a comprehensive system that incorporates an online application, online abuse prevention training, several levels of background checks, and paperless reference checks for people who volunteer or are employed with churches, schools, and organizations that serve or work with children, youth, and vulnerable adults.
