Our facilities

Centenary's campus consists of three connected buildings:

• The Sanctuary
• The Education Wing
• The Family Life Center

Sanctuary
The main entrance to the Sanctuary is from Ellis Street; steps also lead to the worship area from Bellevue.

Our century-old sanctuary features classic stained glass windows, a balcony and a pipe organ, and seats 450 people. The building is air conditioned and has an updated sound system. Our sanctuary was built in 1906 and remodeled in 1975.

In addition to the worship area, this building houses church offices in the lower level. The office area may be reached by stairs from the Narthex or from Ellis Street at street level.

Education Wing

The first floor of this structure houses many of the educational facilities of Centenary Church. These facilities include:

• Kimbel Chapel
• Children’s center
• Limbaugh church parlor
• Music rooms
• Library
• Nurseries
• Activity/craft room.
• Resource room
• Stage
• Sunday School classrooms for all children and youth age.

Family Life Center
The Family Life Center features a large, modern multipurpose gym.

This space functions as the setting for The Summit, our contemporary worship service on Sunday mornings.

But it also serves as a space for programs, presentations and dinners.

In addition, the gym is used by our church for recreation, after-school programs, Vacation Bible School, Breakfast in Bethlehem, Attic Treasures and a huge variety of other events.

The first floor of the FLC also features an attractive lobby meeting area, appropriate for meetings and smaller dinners and a nursery. 

A commercial kitchen allows us to serve refreshments and meals to large gatherings, and provides a resource for our casserole ministry.

The second floor has a jogging/walking track, adult Sunday School classrooms, a youth activity room and meeting rooms.
