Our Vision
Connect, Grow, and Serve at Central, because Jesus is central.
Our Mission
Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
At Central, we have a traditional worship service. This means that we typically play mostly hymns and have a structured order of worship.
When you arrive for the first time, you will be greeted by our hospitality team. They are here to help you with anything you may need or to point you in the right direction. As you walk in, you will see open doors to your left. This area is known as our parlor. Here you will find free coffee and treats and a comfortable space to have a conversation. From there, you will see our sanctuary. Our services start at 10:00 am but you are welcome to find a seat in one of the pews anytime.
What to Expect
What time does the service start and end?
Our worship service starts at 10:00 am and typically ends by 11:15 am
What should I wear?
Wear what you feel comfortable in! When you visit you will see many different styles being worn, from dresses and hats to jeans and a T-shirt.
Where do I park? and what entrance should I use?
Our main parking lot is off East Main Street and 14th Street. Our main entrance is off of our main parking lot under the portico.
Where are the bathrooms?
Our bathrooms are located next to our main office. When you walk through the main entrance, go down the hall and turn left. The men’s and women’s bathrooms will be on your right.
Where do I sit?
Wherever you’d like! We don’t have assigned seating and we have plenty of pew space so sit where you are comfortable.
What kind of music can I expect?
During our worship, we typically play traditional hymns with the occasional worship song. You will hear most songs played on our piano, organ, or our handbells. If you have a favorite hymn or worship song, please let us know! We are always open to suggestions that our visitors and members want to hear.
Will I be called out in any way?
No. If this is your first time with us, we will ask you to fill out our welcome card (in the pew in front of you) so that we can reach out to you during the week but we will not make you stand up and announce yourself during service. Our congregation is very friendly and may introduce themselves to you before service or during the “passing of the peace”
Where do my children go?
Children are welcome to join us in the sanctuary for the start of service. After our prayer, children grades preschool – 4th grade will be invited up for a children’s message and then dismissed with their teachers to Children’s Church on the second floor.
Is there a nursery?
Yes! Kids 0 – preschool are welcome at Splash Kids Nursery. When you walk through the main entrance, you will go down the hall and turn right through the double doors. the nursery is the first room on the right and one of the teachers will greet you and take you information.
How do I know my children are safe?
Once our service starts, our front doors are locked for everyone’s safety. In addition, we also lock the double doors leading to our nursery. Our ushers stay in the hallways during service to help anyone who may be walking around to direct them where to go.
What if I want to keep my children with me?
All children are welcome in our sanctuary! We have “Grace Spaces” available to keep the little ones entertained. We also offer fidget toys, coloring pages, and activity sheets.
