A Centenary Welcome to Erwin's Youth
Known as the friendliest church in town, Centenary welcomes you and your friends to become a part of our growing group of students who learn of God's word and develop relationships through common study and participating in church-sponsored local missions. We offer a recently renovated and furnished room downstairs reserved for our youth and other young people.
All of our Youth/Student activities are under the guidance of Alvin and Jessica Casey.
Scholarship Assistance

Centenary has concluded its participation in the M&Ms coin collection fundraising. The money returned in the
candy tubes was used to purchase items to pack in the comfort bags for those in need.
Thanks to all who supported this Youth mission.
See the home page for a list of items still needed for the comfort bags.

We are persistent!
Your volunteer efforts to help our group park cars for the 2025 Apple Festival were
not only successful, but greatly appreciated. Our group raised over $3000 to
fund our upcoming trips, activities and giving to others.
Thank you!
