THIS IS A CHURCH FOR EVERYONE

This Advent season we celebrate Jesus' coming into the world by considering the ways in which Jesus fulfills all the promises of Scripture. In the words of Charles Wesley, we will discover together how Jesus is the desire of every nation and the joy of every longing heart. This past Sunday Jason Harris continued our Advent series The Promised One with a sermon titled "The Promised Prophet."

Christianity somewhat conveniently offers an unbelievable narrative that, if true, literally changes everything. Which raises the question: Is it possible that Christianity is simply wishful thinking — a framework generated by humans who were (and still are) looking to place their hope in a future that’s better than their reality? Check out the most recent video in our Jesus Reconsidered series, and email us your questions at seniorpastor@centralchurchnyc.org!

In addition to gathering weekly for Sunday worship, we encourage all in our church family to participate in our Wednesday evening School of Discipleship offerings throughout the ministry year. This Wednesday night program helps us mature in our faith and better equips us for God's mission to the city. Check out the events we have coming up!

God is actively at work at Central — not only in our ministries and programs, but in individual lives. Hear from those in our community about how God is changing their hearts through Central, and contribute to the heart change taking place in our church by making a gift now through December 31.

Central will hold two services this year at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 24 in the sanctuary, which will include lessons, carols, and a sermon. Nursery will be available for children two years old and under.

As we kick off our winter School of Discipleship, join us on Wednesday, January 7 at 7 p.m. to explore the art and architecture of the DNA of Christianity through an exclusive screening of "Heading Home: A 21st Century Pilgrimage."
