Youth

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 is proud to offer scholarship aid to its students who apply and meet the application criteria.
Centenary youth meeting the eligibility parameters of the scholarship program are welcome to apply
for financial assistance during academic years. Please speak with Jessica C or Marvin R for more info.

 Youth Activity

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.



Centenary Care Crew Corner

These are a few of our Care Crew members and their advisors on
a recent trip to the Center on Aging & Health. The Care Crew regularly
engages with the residents of the Center by arranging games days,
providing refreshments and celebrating holidays
and special events with them.

Thursday, November 27th @ 11:00 am

Many Unicoi County residents can not afford a traditional Thanksgiving dinner nor do they have the physical ability to make one. Multiple churches in the county have combined their labors to offer a complimentary dinner to these folks who have indicated a desire for a meal.
 
Volunteers can begin arriving at the high school @ 9:00 am to assist with packing the food containers. Delivery begins at 11:00 am. If you're a student with a driver's license or available transportation to help you, please contact Harry Lewis to offer your assistance.

This diverse group generally gathers on Sunday mornings and Wednesday afternoons.

Under the guidance of Jessica & Alvin Casey, Katherine & Noah Starnes, Cynthia Sparks,
Lee Hughes and Shannon Blevins.

Thanks for all you do to lead these young folks.

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!
