About Us

Who we are and what we do:

We welcome all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to partake of communion each time we gather for worship.

We worship together to express our common belief in Jesus Christ and to thank God for all we have by celebrating our salvation, receiving the Holy Spirit, offering thanks, being inspired and giving praise in song.

What we do differently, and well:

We grow in faith by encouraging spiritual growth through adult and children’s education programs, empowering involvement in outreach projects and activities, and praying and playing together.

Why you need to know about Central Christian Church:

We accept you wherever you are on your faith journey – a journey we are all taking together – by respecting personal beliefs and differences.

 

What Disciples Believe

Like most Christians, Disciples affirm:

  • Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God
  • All persons are God’s children

Beliefs and practices usually associated with Disciples include:

  • Open Communion. The Lord’s Supper, or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
  • Freedom of belief. Disciples are called together around one essential of faith: belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit study and prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to others.
  • Baptism by immersion. In baptism, the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
  • Belief in the oneness of the church. All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
  • The ministry of believers. Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.

Your youngsters and teens will experience a Christian education program with activities focused for their age group. These activities assist the young people to grow, mature and become outstanding young adults, young Christians.

Through involvement in Central’s activities, we promise, you will form enduring friendships among a community of fine people dedicated to serving others.
