Our Church Staff and Custodians are working diligently to clean and sanitize the entire church building during this time of closure. Your safety is important to us and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our decisions to limit access to the church building.

Daily updates on community resources and services are available on the Safe Harbor website.

HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU?
We all need prayer. Some of us need prayer now more than ever. Our staff and leaders continue to pray for the needs of our congregation and we would encourage you to share your prayer joys and concerns with the Central Church Family because prayer is a vital link in connecting us with God and each other. Through prayer we express our love for God, our confidences in God's mercy and our concern for one another.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED FINANCIAL SUPPORT!
You are a generous church! We are blessed by your generosity of time and treasure during this difficult time. Because the church continues its day-to-day mission work, we ask that you remain consistent in your financial support. Our Church Staff continue to be compensated for their hard work, bills are being be paid, and the greater mission of Central Church in our community is need now more than ever.
