About Us
Center UMC has a history that dates back over a hundred years, near the beginnings of the town of Center, which was built to support the local farming and ranching in the San Luis Valley. Many of our attendees are tied into the local agricultural scene. Information on our area is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center,_Colorado and www.centerco.gov/contact-us.
We are a small United Methodist church (UMC). To find out more what we believe as a denomination go to www.umc.org
We belong to the Rocky Mountain Conference of the UMC (www.rmcumc.org). We recently received a financial grant from the Rocky Mountain Conference of the UMC to assist us in the excitement of FAITH ADVENTURES.
We are a "charge" and thus share our pastor with Saguache UMC (Sunday worship at 10:30 am).
We are also part of the San Luis Valley Cooperative Parish of UMC churches for mutual support.
We are proud of and care deeply for our community and seek it's well-being. We support and partner with our local school. There is a small pantry with shelf-stable food and hygiene items located within our church in addition to supporting our town's food pantry; we do ask that you request help from the city/county before coming to us for extra help. We also have a limited financial assistance program to help those in need.
We have seasonal Bible Studies and host events such as Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and other occasional worship times, often together with Center Baptist Church (American Baptist Convention).
Another passion of ours is Beaver Creek Youth Camp - a summer camp and year long retreat center that we have supported from its beginnings. For more information see www.beavercreekcamp.org
