What to Expect
Easy to Find
Centennial is located on the corner of Snelling Avenue North and County Road C2 West (approximately one mile north of MN-36) in Roseville, MN. Click here for a map and directions.
Ample Parking
Parking is available in Centennial’s own parking lot, which surrounds the church building, or along the south side of County Road C2 W.
Friendly Welcome
When you enter the building for a worship service, expect to be greeted by smiling greeters and, once inside the sanctuary, helpful ushers to provide you with the service bulletin and guidance in finding a seat. If you have any special needs/requests (special wheelchair seating, hearing devices, etc.), please let the ushers know and they will make sure you are accommodated. Once seated, sit back, relax and enjoy the service.
Diversity in Worship Styles
Find your spiritual home through the worship style that fits you best.We offer traditional Sunday morning worship services, which vary from week to week. Our traditional worship services typically include a combination of music, such as traditional hymns, musical responses, and songs from our choir; traditional liturgy; and a sermon from one of our pastors. For those seeking a more contemporary worship service, we offer The Well at Centennial, which takes place on Sunday evenings. We also provide a Wednesday night worship service. For more information on our worship services, please see the home page.
For those with special needs, we provide accessibility and assistance for our worship services and programs. For more information, please see an usher when you arrive for services.

Programs for Children during Worship Services
Whether your child is an infant, bustling toddler, or an inquisitive elementary schooler, they have a place to be during the worship services. Our nursery, led by a trained staff, is open to children between the ages of six weeks and three years old. Children between the ages of three years old (as of Sept. 1) and 5th grade are encouraged to attend FaithWalk classes. These classes meet on Sunday mornings from September through May. Children begin in worship with their families at 10:30 AM and are excused from the sanctuary following the Time for Children to go to FaithWalk. Classes run until 11:45 AM. During the summer months (June - August), childrenbetween the ages of three years old to 4th grade are invited to attend Summer FaithWalk, which also takes place after the Time for Children during the Sunday morning worship service. There is also a mixed-age class for children at The Well on Sunday evenings. FaithWalk classes provide a time for children to listen to Bible stories, and take part in activities and projects that encourage growth in their faith. We use September 1st as the cutoff to promote children to our FaithWalk classes. We ask all parents to fill out a Children's Ministry Registration so we can be prepared to welcome their children.
Open Table
Communion is served during the Sunday morning services monthly, usually on the first Sunday of the month—ALL are welcome. Served at the front of the church, all are invited to come forward at the designated time in the service to partake in the bread and cup (individual servings of bread and grape juice) and spend a moment in prayer and meditation. If you prefer not to, or are unable to come to the front of the church, ushers will serve you at your seat.
At The Well worship services, communion is served frequently, following in the John Wesley (founder of Methodism) tradition of celebrating Holy Communion on a weekly basis.
Fellowship
Enjoy this time to meet and greet others in the Centennial community. Please join us for coffee and snacks in Linden Court (directly across from the sanctuary) between services in the fall/spring/winter and following the worship service during the summer. Following The Well worship services, everyone is invited to stay for a free, homemade mail and conversation.
