CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
Easter Sunday
During this Lenten season, we've been exploring brief but powerful vignettes from the Gospels, seeking a realistic, behind-the-scenes glimpse into a typical day in Jesus’ earthly ministry. Our prayer is that we will not only better understand his death and resurrection but also be transformed to become more like him. Join us this Easter Sunday at 8:30, 10, or 11:30 a.m. as Jason Harris continues our series A Day in the Life of Jesus with a sermon entitled "The Day Jesus Defeated Death."
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!

Holy Week at Central
Celebrate Holy Week March 29-April 5 at Central with services on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. View our Holy Week schedule to learn more.
Equipping for Evangelism
Talking about Jesus is sometimes intimidating, and “evangelism” can feel difficult. We believe the best way for people to discover answers about the good news of Jesus is by opening the Bible together. Join us as Christianity Explored's Executive Director, Lorianne Merritt, leads a time together that will encourage you to take meaningful steps in helping others explore who Jesus is, why he came, and what it means for us.
Prayer and Praise Night
Join us for an evening of prayer and praise in the sanctuary on Wednesday, April 15 from 7-8 p.m. led by Jason Harris. This evening event will not only enable us to pray for our church and our mission to the city, but also provide us with an opportunity to connect with one another across our corporate worship services and Community Groups.

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.
