Our Vision
Central Christian Church is a diverse, growing community. A family growing both individually and collectively; sharing our faith and love with all.
Our core values
Welcoming H.E.A.R.T.S.
Hospitality
More than an action, hospitality is a way of being. We value creating a spirit of welcome by preparing a warm and accepting environment in expectation of people’s needs before they arrive and continue it once they are here so that everyone feels welcomed and valued.
Empowerment
We value the freedom and encouragement to be or become who we have been designed and intended to be. Additionally, we value the opportunity for people who see a need, to step up and take ownership of filling this need.
Acceptance of All
Everyone converges into the space of the church having walked very different paths, emerging from very different worlds, and holding very different theological and philosophical beliefs. We value and practice the model of Jesus’ ministry which accepts everyone as they are into the church family. As a church that practices inclusion, all people regardless of age, race/ethnicity, gender identity, ability, and sexual orientation are welcome.
Relationship
We value relationships as the heartbeat of our church. We view relationships as involving all aspects of ourselves - the individual, the church, the community, and God - as well as all we do. We also understand relationships to require a more-than-surface level commitment - they also require connectedness and investment.
Transformational Spiritual Growth
We value and are committed to the practice of intentionally growing in our relationship and understanding of God, our faith, and our own spiritual selves. This practice can take many forms as it is both knowledge and experientially based.
Service
We value the biblical tenet of service. We are committed to taking outward actions in all aspects of church and community life that require different levels of time, work, and dedication.
