Kids+ is a faith formation opportunity on Sundays for kids K-5th grade. Kids are invited downstairs to Hobart Hall following Children's Time. During Kids+ we check in with each other, read the day's scripture and participate in a craft, game, or other activity related to the Children's Time and worship service. Kids+ ends at 11:30 am when parents/guardians are asked to pick up their kiddos. Some Sundays throughout the year are designated as Mission Sundays where kids will help with a mission or service project in connection with the larger church or community.

Relevant & classic Bible stories with fun activities. Th year will focus on the NEW Testament! We will learn all about the teachings of Jesus and the disciples. Additionally, Mission Wednesdays will be sprinkled throughout the school year. These are opportinites for kids to participate in a mission or service project, as we learn what it means to be part of something larger than ourselves.

An exploration of music via bells, boomwhackers & buckets. This group will learn how to read music, explore instruments, and have fun making a joyful noise together. Meets every other Wednesday, beginning September 25, 2024.

* Wednesday programs follow the school calendar, if there is no school, or if school is cancelled or close early, programs will not meet.

Youth Group is offered on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:45 pm downstairs in the youth room, otherwise known as, the Fishbowl! During Youth Group, we will focus on themes and topics relevant to youth while also exploring how God is working in our lives and community. There are Mission Nights throughout the school year where youth will help with mission or service projects at Centenary and occasionally with Connections Shelter or other area organizations, as we learn how to live out our faith. 

Confirmation classes are offered for students in 9th grade or older who have not been confirmed. During Confirmation Classes, students learn more about what it means to be a Christian and a United Methodist. This is a time for students to explore their faith, ask questions, and bond with each other as they learn and grow. Our Confirmation classes include additional group gatherings outside of regular class time with mentors who assist in discernment and answering questions. 

Centenary is meant to be a safe place and has a Safe Sanctuaries policy in place designed to provide a safe and positive environment for all members. Anyone who works regularly with children and youth has a background check and training through Safe Gatherings. We ask that families also help us to keep Centenary a safe space and to abide by requests to pick children up from classes and to not let them wander the building alone. Thank you!
