Central is a community of faith that embraces people of different lifestyles, income levels, races, and ethnic backgrounds. People come to worship at Central from every section of the metropolitan area. Sunday activities include a varied Church School curriculum and worship with glorious music, powerful preaching, and strong congregational participation (Click here for Worship Schedule).

After the eleven o'clock service, many of us gather for a meal and continued fellowship. Periodic Sunday afternoon concerts and organ recitals, annual picnics, and other congregational outings further help to build our spirit of family and community.

Prayer Services in the Taizé Community Tradition are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in Rand Chapel except during the summer months. During Advent and Lent, services are held each Tuesday. Click here for the 2008 - 2009 worship schedule.

The daily work of the church further includes ministry, committee, and task force meetings; graded choir and handbell rehearsals; liturgical artists guild; and liturgical dance.

The Theology Of The Task To Which God Has Called Us
At Central Church, we are trustees of a rich historical heritage, and as Presbyterians, as Reformed Christians, we are trustees of a rich theological heritage as well. Each time the Music and Liturgical Arts Committee met in the 2007-2008 season, we took time to reflect on the theology of the task to which God has called us. The resources used were taken from a variety of written sources. In engaging these voices, we took the opportunity to incorporate this body of work into the development of our own voice, our common theological language. It was also our desire to archive these resources so that they could be easily shared with the faith community at Central and beyond, and so we have posted them here. We hope you will find in them a sense of God’s rich blessing on our lives as we seek to offer our whole selves in worship and spiritual formation.
