ADULT Ministries
Circle of Friends:
Ephesians 6:7
"Serve your owners enthusiastically, as though you were serving the Lord
and not human beings."
Circle of Friends meets every Tuesday at 10:00 am in Central Perk. This group of adults visit, drink coffee, and work on group and individual projects. Circle of Friends works on projects such as quilts of all sizes, baby and adult hats, bibs, or any project that arises. These projects are donated to agencies in the community. Teachers are available to help others learn how to knit and assist.
Central Saints:
Central Saints is an intergenerational gathering for covered dish luncheon and speaker every 3rd Thursday of each month from September to May. Anyone is welcome to attend.
Central Care Team:
Call if there is someone you know who needs a call or a visit. The purpose of this group is to visit those who are in need of a visit to let them know that we care about them.
Student & Young ADult Ministries
During junior high, high school, and even into college and young adulthood, people often experience both excitement and challenges in their faith. It's normal for beliefs to be questioned, affirmed & challenged in lots of ways. We hope to offer gospel centered community for this to take place, and opportunities to learn how to give our lives in service to Christ and others.
6th -12 Grade meet Wednesday nights from 6pm to 8pm and Sunday mornings at 9:00am.
Contact Sam Corson at youth@cumcwaco.com for more information.
Children's Ministries
At Central, we promise to surround our children in a community of love and forgiveness, so that they may know the love of God and grow in their service to others.
We provide a nurturing caring environment for all children, helping them understand that each one is a
Child of God.
Wednesday nights from 6pm to 8pm is a time of music and activities for children 4-years-old to 5th grade.
Sunday mornings we have child care for infants and toddlers from 9am to 12noon.
We also have Godly Play, an interactive Bible Story experience, for all school-age children.

Offering the love of Jesus around Waco
Central United Methodist Church is a proud supporter of Mission Waco. We regularly serve breakfast at Church Under the Bridge.
Central is an Adopt-a-School Partner with Kendrick Elementary School (Waco ISD) providing reading buddies, backpacks, and school supplies.
Through the Hangar under the 17th Street bridge, Central provides mosquito spray, socks, hats, and other items to our neighbors who sleep outside.
"Neighbor Bags" are available to give to our neighbors in need at the intersections of Waco as a way to express Jesus' command to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Central continually collects new stuffed animals for the Chaplain's office of BSW Hillcrest Hospital to give to children.
Central also continually collects canned goods and non-perishable food for the Caritas Food Pantry, gently used clothing is also collected to help provide funds for Caritas at their Hidden Treasures location, and small (8 oz.) bottles or boxes of juice are collected for Waco ISD's Pack of Hope.
Watch the weekly Newsletter Email and the announcements in church for updates and new ways we can offer Jesus to our neighbors.
