WELCOME TO CENTRAL - ONLINE!
We are happy to have you as our online guest! Central is a unique gathering of christian friends that promote the following:
Everyone Belongs - We mean that. Regardless of your background / style of dress / car / hair / music / race / bank account balance...you name it, YOU are accepted. Belonging is not based on believing the correct doctrines, or behaving in certain ways, or having to become just like us. You are invited to join us on our spiritual journey just as you are. Belonging is based on mutual respect (love one another) and common purpose (to follow Jesus where he leads).
We Believe Jesus is Lord - That's it! We don't maintain a moral list of do's and dont's; we don't memorize creeds or covenants; we don't believe just like our pastor or leadership; we believe that "Jesus is Lord" and we believe that YOU (along with a little help from the Holy Spirit) know best about what that means for your daily living and life. Through study, prayer, discussion and sharing we seek to grow as followers and as disciples . . . in our beliefs, in our understandings, and in our commitment to Jesus.
We Want to Become Servants - We want to become "Matthew 25" Christians. Our faith is meaningless if it doesn't prompt us to "love our neighbor and the least of these" as we love ourselves. In the letter of James, he makes the point clear, "Faith, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." We take seriously the call to action, finding ways to reach out to others in service and love.
