CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
This Sunday
The famed Song of Songs is meant to be read as the greatest of all love songs, unsurpassed in its subject, artistry, and depth of meaning. Amidst a culture deeply confused about love and the human body, our five-week winter series will explore Scripture’s beautiful, life-giving vision of embodied humanity through the greatest song ever written. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. ONLY as Jason Harris continues our winter series The Song of Songs with a sermon titled "A Theology of Identity."
Jesus Reconsidered
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!
School of Discipleship
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!
"The Letter of Paul to the Philippians"
This four-week course (dates spread across January through March) with Princeton Theological Seminary Professor Matthew Novenson will examine Paul’s short but theologically profound letter to the Philippians. Following some introductory discussion of the life and letters of Paul, we will read closely one chapter of the letter in each of our four sessions and discuss key themes.
Gospel-Centered Life Class
"Gospel-Centered Life" is a nine-lesson small group study intended to help you understand how the gospel shapes every aspect of life. Through the course, we hope you will deepen your grasp of the gospel, grow as you experience transformation, and develop relationships in service of others. GCL will meet on the sixth floor on Sundays at 9 a.m. beginning February 1.
Young Professionals Event
Young professionals (20s and 30s) are invited to join senior pastor Jason Harris for the next conversation in our interactive series on Thursday, February 5 from 6:30-8 p.m. The conversation will be focused on "Can we trust the Bible?"
