About The Centenary at White Oak
The Centenary at White Oak is an outreach ministry that nurtures children in the Red Bank area by providing academic enrichment, organized physical education, and avenues for spiritual growth and expression. We offer an after school ministry for children in kindergarten through third grade. The Centenary at White Oak is a new branch of the long standing ministry that began at First-Centenary United Methodist Church in 1967. The ministry has positively impacted the lives of thousands of children in its first 50 years, and we plan to have an equal impact through the course of the next 50 as the outreach expands to the Red Bank area.
