THIS IS A CHURCH FOR EVERYONE

The famed Song of Songs is meant to be read as the greatest of all love songs, unsurpassed in its subject, artistry, and depth of meaning. Amidst a culture deeply confused about love and the human body, our five-week winter series will explore Scripture’s beautiful, life-giving vision of embodied humanity through the greatest song ever written. This past Sunday Jason Harris kicked off our new series The Song of Songs with a sermon titled "A Theology of the Body."

Christianity somewhat conveniently offers an unbelievable narrative that, if true, literally changes everything. Which raises the question: Is it possible that Christianity is simply wishful thinking — a framework generated by humans who were (and still are) looking to place their hope in a future that’s better than their reality? Check out the most recent video in our Jesus Reconsidered series, and email us your questions at seniorpastor@centralchurchnyc.org!

In addition to gathering weekly for Sunday worship, we encourage all in our church family to participate in our Wednesday evening School of Discipleship offerings throughout the ministry year. This Wednesday night program helps us mature in our faith and better equips us for God's mission to the city. Check out the events we have coming up!

Join us on Wednesday, January 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the sanctuary for our second Central Chamber Series concert of the season, "Baroque Festival." Purchase tickets at centralchamberseries.com.

We're looking forward to our third annual Vision Night at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 21, which will include a time of worship and prayer as well as reflection on where we have come from, where we are now, and where we are headed together as Central Church. We hope you can join us for this very special evening.

This four-week course (dates spread across January through March) with Princeton Theological Seminary Professor Matthew Novenson will examine Paul’s short but theologically profound letter to the Philippians. Following some introductory discussion of the life and letters of Paul, we will read closely one chapter of the letter in each of our four sessions and discuss key themes.
