About Centenary United Methodist
Centenary United Methodist Church in Shady Side, Maryland is a welcoming Methodist congregation with a rich history dating back to the 1830s. Originally known as Swamp Chapel and later West River Mission Church, the congregation was renamed Centenary Methodist Church in 1866 to honor the first hundred years of Methodism in America, with the original building famously transported by ox cart and barge to its current location. Led by Pastor Kris Neale, a licensed local pastor and seminary student, the church emphasizes offering Christ's friendship and living as Christ's friend. The congregation gathers for worship each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and offers diverse programming including Messy Church, a family-friendly worship experience that combines creativity, fellowship, and shared meals for all ages.
