Center Chapel UMC

Helping people take their next step towards Christ…together!

Missions

Beginning in January 2008, the missions committee is challenging each member of Center Chapel to give 12 hours to help our church and community.  It doesn’t matter how old or young you are, everyone has a gift that God wants us to use to serve others.   Just as Paul encouraged the Galatians, “Therefore, as we have opportunity let us do good to all people” (Galatians 6:10), we believe that one of the best ways to express our faith is through service. Center Chapel supports a variety of outreach ministries in Muncie and beyond. In addition, we have ongoing moments when you can share a smile or helping hand within the church.  IMany opporutnities exist, here are a few:
