What’s Happening Now At Central Presbyterian Church
Upcoming Worship
We invite you to attend worship in person in the Sanctuary at 8:30 and 10am each Sunday. This week, October 2nd, is World Communion Sunday, where Christians all over the world celebrate communion together. We will also commission our Confirmation Class, and distribute Bibles to our third graders.

WAVE, Central’s contemporary worship service, returns on Sunday, October 2, at 5pm with a Blessing of the Animals.
