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 Experience

VIRTUAL WORSHIP AVAILABLE ON:

Join us each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for a time of praise, Word and spiritual fellowship. Our worship experience is 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 at our weekly worship!

Lectionary Message:  "This week, the lectionary text features three different couplets from Proverbs 22, all of which point us toward how to engage wisdom-driven decision-making in our daily lives.  Wisdom-driven decision-making emphasizes insight and discernment centered around God’s teachings about what makes a good life. And, in true Proverbs fashion, today’s text unsettles popular opinions while grounding us in divine wisdom for building the kin-dom of God on earth as it is in heaven.  What would it mean for you to pattern your life after these proverbs?"
