Who We Are and What We Believe
Founded in 1832, Central United Methodist Church has been part of the Newberry community for nearly two centuries. Through generations of change, our calling has remained the same: to love God, love our neighbors, and serve our community.
As United Methodists, we believe that every person—whether in the pew or the pulpit—is called to live out God’s redeeming grace. At Central, that calling is shared by the whole congregation through worship, discipleship, leadership, and service.
Our faith is rooted in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and shaped by the Wesleyan tradition of The United Methodist Church. We profess the historic creeds of the church, including The Apostles' Creed. We believe faith is more than something we profess. It is something we live—through worship, discipleship, love of neighbor, and service to the community.

The Apostles' Creed
We believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
