Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals

Being human means that we are constantly growing.

We at Centennial believe that it is important to celebrate those moments in our lives when we reach particular milestones of growth! Whether it be our baptisms as infants, or our celebration services remembering and honoring us after our deaths, pausing and intentionally reflecting on what life has been helps us and our communities create a more whole and rich life for the future.
And, let's be honest, we follow Jesus, a guy who went to many parties and dinners and festivals, so why not be like him and celebrate big (or small!) moments in life!  
We recognize and celebrate many milestones at Centennial.

Baptisms

We LOVE baptisms at Centennial!
We are United Methodists, which mean that we believe baptism is the outward sign of the invisible reality that God loves us and calls us God's beloved people! In other words: baptism is the tangible sign that God loves us, and that we belong to God's people.
We celebrate baptisms on Sundays, and would love to talk more with you about what this important milestone can mean for you and your family.

Funerals and Memorial Services

Planning the details of a funeral can be overwhelming.
Let us help.
Our staff offer counseling and planning assistance for four kinds of services: 
Funeral service: This kind of service occurs within days following death with a closed casket or urn present.
Memorial service: This is a service in which remains are not present, and may take place at any time suitable for the bereaved.
Committal service: This service takes place at a cemetery and may follow a funeral or take place separately.
Cremains burial service: Some of our church members have chosen to have some of their remains buried in our Memorial Garden; we try to do this service in coordination with other families who share the same desire.
