History
Founded in 1838, meeting in ever-increasing sized spaces through the decades, Central’s history is full of service and love in this community and far beyond.Our late 1800s building was moved to another position on the block and a new Sanctuary was connected to it in 1927. These two buildings joined together are a testament to the dedication of this congregation to be a continuing presence of hope in Endicott. Many persons have discerned a call to ministry while at Central, a testament to the love and support found here through 185 years.And while we may be an old congregation with a lot of history, we are not old-fashioned!
Our current vision can be summarized like this: Central United Methodist Church is a fully inclusive church that seeks, embraces, educates, worships, and serves, all in God’s love. We fully include all persons who enter our doors, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, creed, age, economic status, physical or mental abilities. We strive to make real the love of God through Jesus Christ and to empower all people to share this love with others.
