Vacation Bible School 2025 - Just Like Me
Join us from 5-8pm on Wednesday evenings, July 9th- August 6th for "Just Like Me: Digging in and growing deep", Centennial UMC's summer Vacation Bible School.
Over the course of these 5 Wednesdays, kids will be introduced to a cast of neighborhood Gardeners who will help them explore Biblical stories of people who were able to change things for the better. Kids will practice sharing what they have, finding their community, and using their voice for others!
We know summers are busy. Your family may be traveling, your child may be at camp or attending another activity for one or more weeks of Just Like Me (summer VBS). And that’s okay! We’ve designed this years’ experience with flexibility in mind. Sign up for the weeks that work for you and your family.

- A meal will be served at the beginning of our time together each Wednesday. We’ll provide the main dishes and ask that families bring a side dish to share. Parents/guardians and other family members are welcome to stay for the meal.
- Registration is open for kids who are 3 years old (& potty trained) to 5th grade (going into 6th grade).
- To help offset the cost of food and supplies, we’re asking for a donation of $5 per child, per day. Please make a note indicating "Just Like Me - VBS" with your cash or check donation.
Kids & Family Milestone Program
Milestones are the significant cultural and developmental markers that we experience throughout our lives.
They are our firsts. There are ordinary firsts of steps and teeth, walking and talking. There are also firsts of our faith life: baptism, beginning Sunday School, receiving a Bible, and more. Centennial’s Milestone Ministry helps to make a connection between our everyday lives and our faith life.

Youth Mission Trips
Road trips + serving others + awesomeness + God sightings = Centennial Youth summer mission trips!
These week-long trips are often transformative for our high school and middle school students. Taking time away from normal life, they have space to connect more deeply with their faith, see God at work in different social contexts then their own, and make new friends!

Confirmation - 8th Grade
Faith is a life long, ever-changing journey.
Our 8th grade students spend a year thinking intentionally about their faith journey. That process may culminate in them publicly professing their faith at our fall Confirmation Sunday. That process may culminate in them needing more time and space to figure out where they are at. Both of those options, and everything in between, is a-ok with us at Centennial. Jesus invites us into an authentic faith, and we all figure out that journey on their own time.
Confirmation takes place during youth group on the second Wednesday of the month and will be lead by either Pastor Jen or Pastor Whitney.
