Central UMC is a wonderful church, combining worship with beautiful art and song. I've only ever been to the 11:00 am service, which features traditional worship hymns and liturgy, and communion on the first Sunday of the month. There are also services at 8:00 and 9:30 I believe. The 9:30 service features more contemporary music.
A few things really stand out about this church. First, the music. The volunteer choir performs breathtaking choral pieces every Sunday. Even after attending this church for a year, I'm constantly impressed by the skill of the choir, soloists and organist. The service commonly features guest musicians such as the Sonoran Brass Quintet.
Secondly, the current pastor, Pastor Larry gives great, contemplative sermons that really parse the text of the scripture. The staff and congregation are always friendly and welcoming, and the church is involved with several charitable works in the community, such as the Justa Center
Finally, the premises are beautiful. The main Sanctuary is adorned with beautiful stained glass religious artwork. The church is also home to two beautiful organs.
I'd encourage anyone looking for a church to try Central UMC.
