CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
This Sunday
Our aim is to be a church where every person is respected and every question is welcomed. Our model is Jesus. Jesus was not offended by questions or doubts, because he was not threatened by honest seeking. Jesus recognizes that questions are not obstacles to God but are instead often pathways into deeper faith. Join us this Sunday as Andrew Smith (10 and 11:30 a.m.) and Robert Cone (5 p.m.) continue our summer sermon series "Questions for Jesus" with sermons titled “What about this man?” and “What does he mean by ‘a little while’?”
Jesus Reconsidered
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!
Discovery and Foundations
Considering becoming a member of Central? Register now for our next Discovery and Foundations class on Sunday, September 27 from 1-4 p.m. at the church. The first part of the class is designed to orient you to Central and provide you with information about our mission, core values, and philosophy of ministry, while the second part is designed to explore in more detail Central's theological convictions and our philosophy of worship.
Community Groups
We aren’t meant to live out our faith in isolation. We need meaningful fellowship and authentic relationships in order to work out the implications of the gospel in our lives. Whether you’re a committed Christian or just beginning to explore the claims of Christianity, Central’s Community Groups are for you.
Bible Studies
Register now to attend a Bible Study this ministry year. We offer men's, women's, and coed studies with both morning and evening options. This year we will be studying the book of Genesis. Register and find out more at centralchurchnyc.org/biblestudies.
School of Discipleship
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!

Our Mission
Central is committed to building a strong community of faith in Jesus Christ that enables people from diverse backgrounds to experience the transformative power of the gospel through insightful biblical teaching, expressive worship, authentic prayer, and meaningful relationships. At the same time, we aim to provide a setting in which people who are undecided about their religious commitments may freely investigate the claims of Christianity. Together, we strive to serve the people of New York in humility and love so that we might have a positive impact on the world around us.
