For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them. – Matthew 18:20
Small Groups
Please call 704-739-2471 for more information on small groups currently meeting.
Central Methodist Church provides a wonderful nurturing environment for people of all ages to learn more about God and his Son Jesus through its educational opportunities.
Small Gro
ups, in particular, are a group of three or more people who meet regularly to connect and grow together in faith. In a weekly small group, you can experience friendship, support, and learn within the greater church community. Feel free to visit many different groups until you find the one that fits best. Central Methodist Church, like all churches, has been given the awesome responsibility of helping all age groups, from toddlers to seniors, to learn and grow in their faith.

Operation Christmas Child: Our Goal is 52! Why 52? There’s a little more to that number than you might think! This year, Central Methodist Church has set a goal of filling 52 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes—inspired by the story of the five loaves and two fish. The cost of each shoebox is $30. You can donate online here or write a check to Central Methodist Church, and we will build the box for you. If you have any questions, please contact the church office at 704-739-2471.
