After a few more minutes searching, I found the answer. So for anyone else who has this question I want to post a simple concise step-by-step explanation.


Script-fu window for setting vertical or horizontal guides by percent


Make sure you have Gimp open with an image of some sort on the
canvas.
Image > Guides > New Guide (By Percent).
If you don't see a Script-fu dialog box, switch between active windows until you
find it (in Windows use ALT-TAB).
In the "Direction" drop-down
choose "Vertical".
Ensure that "Positon" is set to 50% and click
"OK".


And that's it! If you followed the instructions you should now have a vertical line bisecting your image, in the exact middle of the canvas.

PROTIP: If you follow the procedure again, but this time choose "Horizontal", you will now be able to locate the exact midpoint of your image in all directions.
