I look forward to seeing where God leads us together, and how God continues to change each of us day by day into the image and likeness of God.

Keeping You Informed
Inclement Weather
This week reminded us that winter really has arrived and with it the possibility of weather related closures. Generally, Centenary follows Richmond City Public Schools - if the schools are closed, the Centenary office is closed. The closure will also be posted on our Facebook page with this graphic. If the weather forces a canceling of Sunday morning worship, we will send out a church wide email, along with the Facebook announcement as soon as that decision is made. We thank you for your patience and flexibility.
Please Prayerfully Consider Pledging
In 2022, we will continue to define a Jesus-like dream to serve our city, focused on Centenary’s talents. Earlier this year, a team developed a Kingdom-sized dream for Richmond:
Richmond is a community where every person is thriving and
has access to nutritious food and learning opportunities.
We are asking for your help with prayers, discernment, and financial support to grow our expressions of Christ’s love so we may turn this statement into new forms of mission. Please contact the church office is you would like to make a pledge for 2022.
