Christ's Love
Welcome to Centenary UMC! The congregation was founded in 1772,
inspired by the preaching of the Rev. Joseph Pilmore.
The current sanctuary building was completed in 1904, and renovated in 1966 and 2013.
Let our church family embrace yours! You are a beloved child of God.
Come and share the love of Christ!

develop skills,
build confidence
and meet new people.
