GROWING IN FAITH TOGETHER

I accept responsibility to grow in my faith with the assistance of others.

• I participate in a Grow Group or small group.

• I have an intentional spiritual development plan.

“... speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the head, that is Christ.   (Eph. 4:15, TNIV)

From young to old, new to the journey or seasoned Christian, at Central we believe God calls us to take this journey on the path to Discipleship together. We all learn from one another.  It's also why we have ministry programs for every stage of life. We want you to grow with us - even if you're not a member or you are just seeking!  To find out more about each of these, click on the links below.

GROW GROUPS

If you are new to the Central community, we have a variety of small groups designed especially for you. We call them Grow Groups. Grow Groups meet weekly for 8-14 weeks, depending on the topic and time of year. They are organized into fall, winter and summer “trimesters,” and are a great way to meet other people as we grow in faith together. We’d love you to join us! Even if you have been here for awhile, if you are not currently in a small group, give a Grow Group a try!

For a full description of each Grow Group, go to the Grow Group List.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

The mission of Central’s Children's Ministry is to minister to children, their parents and our volunteers.  We want children to hear the message of Christ’s unconditional love and to guide them to grow into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  We want to nurture parents of these children to understand and live out their role as Christian parents.  We want to love, encourage and equip our volunteers so they experience growth in their relationship with God as a result of their service.  Children’s Ministry covers infants through 5th grade and provides a variety of options on Sunday mornings.

STUDENT MINISTRY   --   MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL

The mission of Student Ministry is to provide a place for students to BELONG; have opportunities to explore what they BELIEVE; and see them BECOME life-long pursuers of Jesus Christ. We do this by offering a variety of groups and activities for Middle School and High School students. The teaching comes through bible lessons, talking and sharing and just plain having fun!

YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY

While many young adults participate in all kinds of activities at Central, we do offer some events and small groups particularly designed for Young Adults. Our mission is to help you engage Jesus and each other in order to develop a personal relationship with Jesus that you can apply for the rest of your life, leading to long-term involvement in church, ministry, or other forms of service to God and others.

ADULT MINISTRY

Central provides growth opportunities for adults through Sunday morning classes, as well as Grow Groups, journaling groups, and fellowship groups that meet at various times and places throughout the week. Whether you’re just looking for basic answers about the Christian faith, or need specific help with pressing life questions, we are here to help!

CARE AND SUPPORT MINISTRIES

Helping people through difficult times is the focus of Central's Care and Support Ministries.

From general care provided by our Deacons, to specialized programs for those going through divorce, or suffering from addictions, our members are here for you.  Prayer is a vital part of all of our ministries at Central.  Many different prayer groups meet throughout the week to pray for members, missionaries and those in need.
