UMW is organized into four circles that meet monthly. There is also a General Meeting on the second Tuesday of each month (except June, July, and August) at the church, which includes dinner and a program afterward, starting at 7 p.m. The meeting times for the four circles are as follows:
Women do not have to be a member of the United Methodist Church to become a member of UMW. UMW welcomes women of all ages who are interested in mission and Christian fellowship to come and be a part of our program here at Central. Contact UMW e-mail: umw@knoxcentralumc.org
Purpose: The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be a community of women
whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ;
to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through
participation in the global ministries of the church.

Central Methodist Men's Club The Men's Club is open to all interested men. The group meets on the third Saturday
of each month for breakfast, fellowship, and a short meeting. The meeting is currently held at
The Lunch House restaurant. The Men's Club assists with projects at the church and in the community,
such as repainting the parking lot and coordinating the Beta House nature project.
They also traditionally help provide treats for the children at the Christmas party and donate to
other church projects. ![]()
United Methodist Youth Fellowship The youth group at Central is made up of youth from 6th to 12th grade. During the school year we try to meet weekly on Sunday evenings for snack suppers and activities. Throughout the year we have special events like Resurrection, summer mission trip, Youth Sunday, and lock-ins. We serve the church by hosting meals, serving as acolytes and crucifers, and teaching the nursery class. Special projects that are currently on going include remodeling the youth room and creating a Faith Tree for Children’s Hospital’s Fantasy of Trees. For more information please contact Kirk and Stephanie Lowe at YouthLeaders@knoxcentralumc.org ![]()

Congregational meals CUMC members enjoy eating together. Congregational meals are held
throughout the year. Usually the meals are focused on a special
occasion, such as the Christmas pageant, Pentecost, Teacher
Appreciation Sunday, etc. and sponsored by a committee or group in the
church. Some meals serve as fundraisers for youth projects and other
causes. Meals sometimes are covered by a small charge or by donations.
There is also an annual church picnic, usually in late summer or early
fall.
