A Christ-Centered Community in Atlanta, GA

Our Vision Statement

“A Christ-Centered, Radically Inclusive, Intergenerational congregation that uses its Spiritual Gifts
to meet the needs of our unique surrounding Community.”

Central "LIVE" Worship ExperienceS

VIRTUAL WORSHIP AVAILABLE ON:

Join us each Sunday for a time of praise, Word and spiritual fellowship. Our worship experiences are broadcast live on our YouTube channel and live-streamed on our Facebook page.

At Central, we practice the "Six Marks of Discipleship:" daily prayer, Bible reading, weekly worship, Christian service, relationships that encourage spiritual growth, and giving in the spirit of generosity.

We look forward to seeing you weekly in worship!

Lectionary Message (Day of Pentecost):  "As God moves toward us in this outpouring of Spirit, so we move toward God in response and acceptance.  This day is a celebration; it’s inclusion and invitation and permission and commission.  It is a time for testimony, for telling the story, the personal witness of faith in each life.  How can we keep letting the story leak out into the world around us in ways that bring hope and change lives? The Spirit still moves." (umcdiscipleship.org)

Health and welfare gets central moving

Our goal is to promote daily movement for health and well-being by encouraging enjoyable activities like walking, dancing or trying new sports--emphasizing the importance of movement for physical and mental health, while inspiring lasting lifestyle changes.
