The God of my rock; in him will I trust; he is my shield, and the horn
of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou
savest me from violence.
2 Samuel  22:3



Centenary is a part of the
LaMoine River District of the Illinois Great Rivers Conference of the
United Methodist Church. This district is formed of the eighty-eight congregations in the area
bordered by the Mississippi River on the west and Route 136 on the north. The eastern boundary
is mainly along route 67 (but also includes other communities such as Rushville and Carlinville) and Jerseyville to the south. This western curve of the state has a rich tradition of Methodism with
heritage that includes spiritual leaders like pioneer circuit rider Peter Cartwright and Peter Akers.
