Youth Ministry at Centerville United Methodist is understood as a process, not a program by which youth are led to a deeper relationship with Christ and a deeper commitment to the work of the church in the world. It is a process that transforms young people from being willing participants in church programs to becoming young people whose lives are committed to being the body of Christ.

We have developed a comprehensive approach to youth ministry that strives to:
