GIMP is the main program I use for image editing so I've provided some pictures to help me explain.

If you are putting the image on a webpage, you might as well make it with HTML. It is less server intensive (which decreases page loads), and I personally find making it with a  is a lot quicker than using an image.
 * 1) First, create or open the image you want to use as the background.Gimp-center-tutorial-1.png
 * 2) Next, align the sides of the text box to the edges of the space where you want the text centered (in this example/picture, the edges of the image). You can use the zoom tool (see the circled dropdown in picture) if you can't see if the edge of the text box is at the right spot.Gimp-center-tutorial-2.png
 * 3) Highlight the text and click the "Centered" option (the third option in the Justified menu for the text tool options, circled in picture).Gimp-center-tutorial-3.png
 * 4) Done! You can change the font and make other edits as necessary.Gimp-center-tutorial-4.png
