CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
This Sunday
What is God doing in the world, and where do we fit into his purposes? In Ephesians, Paul pulls back the curtain on God’s breathtaking plan for creation: to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Jesus Christ. That promised future has already begun. In Christ, God is creating an altogether new kind of community. Join us this Sunday at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., or 5 p.m. as Jason Harris continues our fall sermon series "The World God Is Making" with a sermon titled “Where do we belong?”
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!
Discovery and Foundations
Considering becoming a member of Central? Register now for our next Discovery and Foundations class on Sunday, November 8 from 1-4 p.m. at the church. The first part of the class is designed to orient you to Central and provide you with information about our mission, core values, and philosophy of ministry, while the second part is designed to explore in more detail Central's theological convictions and our philosophy of worship.
Welcome Reception
Recently discovered Central? Please join us for a welcome reception on Thursday, November 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the UES home of Steve and Rebecca Madsen. This is an opportunity for you to meet Central's staff, elders, trustees, deacons, and each other in a casual atmosphere. We hope to see you there!
Women's Day Retreat
Central is excited to host a Women's Day Retreat on Saturday, November 14 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the church. At this fall retreat, we will explore Psalm 16 and its treasures together, considering how the psalm invites us to trust that the boundaries God gives are for our good, and that even what seems random is under his care and control.
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!

Our Mission
Central is committed to building a strong community of faith in Jesus Christ that enables people from diverse backgrounds to experience the transformative power of the gospel through insightful biblical teaching, expressive worship, authentic prayer, and meaningful relationships. At the same time, we aim to provide a setting in which people who are undecided about their religious commitments may freely investigate the claims of Christianity. Together, we strive to serve the people of New York in humility and love so that we might have a positive impact on the world around us.
