Our Missions Ministry is open to all members of the congregation who desire to serve. As members of the congregation, we’re sent into the community to serve those in need and to make our community more loving and just. We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers and guides us in these ministries and that wherever there’s need and suffering, we meet Christ, already at work.

Past Events
Oral Rehydration Project (March)
On Sunday, March 6 nine volunteers from Central joined the Beth El Hebrew Congregation in Alexandra to participate in the annual Oral Rehydration Project. Over 15,000 of these life-saving kits were prepared by hundreds of volunteers from various religious and volunteer organizations throughout the area. The kits included salt, sugar, baking soda and potassium. When mixed with water, these kits are often the only thing that prevents a child from dying from dehydration.

UMCOR Health Kits (May)
The Young Adults led the charge on collecting contents and assembling Health Kits for UMCOR during the month of May. These health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or natural disaster, and the kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition, and cooking classes. The goal was to assemble at least 100 Health Kids to deliver to UMCOR. The congregation far exceeded the goal and 184 Health Kits were delivered!
Support Baltimore (May)
After a week of unrest in Baltimore, there were a number of underserved communities that were in need of assistance and Central stepped up! As a congregation, we collected much-needed items including diapers, non-perishable food items and paper products. With the assistance of Rev. Bonnie McCubbin, Pastor at Hampden United Methodist in Baltimore, the items were delivered to Ames Memorial United Methodist Church in West Baltimore, the area in most need. Thank you and God Bless to everyone who took the time to help our neighbors to the north.
