What’s Happening Now At Central Presbyterian Church
Upcoming Worship
We invite you to attend worship in person in the Chapel at 8:30 and in the Sanctuary at 10am each Sunday. Alternately, you can watch the 10am service live on Summit’s HTTV, or on our YouTube channel.
WAVE, Central’s contemporary worship service, is held in the church auditorium. WAVE will meet on select Sundays each month at 5 pm – upcoming dates include April 7 & 21.
The entire main floor of Central Church is handicapped accessible via the glass doors facing Elm Street (our main entrance). The Sanctuary is equipped with an audio-assist system for those with hearing difficulties.
College Scholarships
Central Presbyterian Church annually awards six college scholarships to high school seniors associated with the church, made possible through the generosity of numbers of interested members and families. The application is due on May 1, 2024.
Prayer Room
During Lent, it is a great time to slow down, reset, and attend to our spiritual lives. One way people have done this for millennia is through the practice of contemplative prayer. If you are new to contemplative prayer, or you just want a “prompt” to help you focus your practice, we invite you to stop by the Prayer Center set up in the Library during Lent. Each week we will feature one of our Contemplative Practices, and have different stations for you to engage, and connect with God. Featured practices: Prayer of Examen, Celebration, Breath prayer, Labyrinths, Confession, and Service.
Blessing of the Bicycles: April 21
In honor of Earth Day, Central asks everyone to consider biking to church on April 21. At our 5pm WAVE service, there will be a blessing of bicycles and helmets – so bring your helmet in to worship! If the weather cooperates, we may be outdoors for this service.
The Lent KEY is here!

A Maundy Thursday evening service is planned for March 28 at 7pm, to remember the Last Supper. Communion will be served.
Good Friday, March 29, will have a service in the Chapel, also at 7pm.

Easter Worship on March 31 will include a contemplative service at 8:30am in the Chapel, with a full Festival Easter Service at 10am in the Sanctuary. Easter crafts for children will be in the auditorium during the 10am service.
Potential Members Gathering: May 19
We will be hosting a gathering for interested new members at 11:00 a.m. on May 19. Child care will be available.
