Central's Vision Statement

Our Vision is to be . . .

1. A Praying Church . . . where seeking God in prayer empowers and sets the tone for all we do.
2. An Open and Friendly Church . . . where everyone who walks through our doors feels welcome and accepted.
3. A Faith-Sharing Church . . . where people continually find Christ and start down the road of discipleship.
4. A Nurturing Church . . . where worship, Bible study, love and compassion are so prevalent that spiritual growth naturally follows.
5. A Giving Church . . . where God’s standard of giving, the Tithe, becomes a part of who we are in response to God’s love.
6. An Equipping and Serving Church . . . where people discover and develop their spiritual gifts and become involved in ministry for Christ.
7. A Mission-Minded Church . . . where missions and outreach are so vital our commitment to the community, university and world exceeds our commitment to ourselves.
8.  A Sending Church . . . where men and women respond to God’s call to ministry, attending seminary or becoming involved in ministry and mission wherever God leads them.
