All are welcome to this unique and casual outdoor worship experience on the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay from 9 am to 10 am on Sundays starting May 25, 2025 thru Sunday, August 31, 2025.

Bring your own lawn chair or blanket and dress for the weather. We will hold worship outdoors unless there is heavy rain, thunder, or lightning.

Well-behaved and leashed pets are welcome to attend.

NOTE FOR THE 2025 SEASON: CITP returns to Sunset Park! We will not meet at Rotary Square like last year. If weather prohibits outdoor worship, 9 AM worship will be held in the Central Church sanctuary at 222 Cass Street in downtown Traverse City. The church will make an announcement in lieu of any location changes due to weather.

All are invited to casual conversation with one of Central’s pastors.  This is a great time to get to know our pastors a bit more, ask questions about the church and meet new people!  No registration required.
