Breakthrough Conference
We long to bring the love of Jesus into all our relationships & networks, but sometimes we can feel stuck by our fears and usual patterns. Join us as we learn to BREAKTHROUGH these barriers and get new inspiration from speaker, author, and church consultant J.R. Briggs.

He is the founder of Kairos Partnerships, an organization committed to serving kingdom leaders through leadership coaching, consulting, speaking, teaching, and writing.

Leader Nomination
Each year we have the privilege to elect our leadership for the upcoming year. A congregational-led nominating committee submits a list of eligible candidates for leadership to be voted upon at the annual meeting. The current committee is seeking nominations from the congregation for the offices of Elder & Deacon and for next year’s Nominating Committee.
Please give prayerful consideration to your suggestion of a person to be considered by the committee for nomination.
For an overseer, as God’s administrator, must be blameless, not arrogant, not hot-tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled, holding to the faithful message as taught, so that he will be able both to encourage with sound teaching and to refute those who contradict it.
Deacons are elected and ordained from within the congregation to lead the congregation in compassionate service.
At Central, the deacons are the front-line for providing financial, material and spiritual support to the congregation and community. Deacons typically serve three-year terms.
Elders are elected and ordained from within the congregation to give spiritual guidance, shepherd, teach, pray and set direction.
At Central, elders are male and female, serve three-year terms and also function as trustees.
The Nominating Committee is a congregational committee responsible for recommending ruling elders and deacons from members of the congregation.
Lent
What is Lent?
The Lenten season has been observed by Christians for centuries. It starts with Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of 40 days (minus Sundays) leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. Lent is a season of preparation and anticipation. It is a time to reflect on the brokenness of our world and a time to repent for the brokenness in our lives. It is also a time to look ahead to the day when all things will be made new. It is a journey that leads us to Holy Week and culminates with Jesus being placed in the dark tomb and rising again to launch God’s worldwide project of making the world the right.
How do I observe Lent?
Often people observe the season of Lent by giving up certain things, like certain foods, activities or habits in order to sharpen our attention on our spiritual lives. It can also be helpful to take up certain practices, such as prayer, service, or intentional time with people we care about.
As a community, we will gather together on Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday to remember and celebrate significant moments of Jesus’ journey to the cross.
Join us for a warm and hearty evening of Soup & Group. This event is a great opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy a delicious meal while participating in meaningful Lenten activities.
We'll start the evening with a variety of soups and after dinner, we'll gather in small groups for guided lenten activities, including prayer, reflection, and discussion.
This is a perfect opportunity to connect with others, nourish your body and soul, and celebrate the season of lent.
