Early worship is an intimate gathering with simple music, a short homily, and plenty of space for quiet reflection.
Worship at Eleven is a larger, more traditional gathering with our sanctuary choir, organ accompaniment, and sermon.
Worship with us online via live stream or podcast.

You are warmly invited to share the sights, reflections, and events of Mark's summer sabbatical.
Join us for Early Worship this Sunday as we consider what a new heaven and a new earth might be. What is the invitation of Jesus' resurrection? Is it to a life that continues beyond death? Is it a life that is awakened in us even in this life? What do we do with this gift of resurrection? We'll sing, pray, and contemplate these things together with a sermon by Aaron Austin.
As we begin our Voyage of Voices, we welcome Dr. Charisse Gillett as our preacher this Sunday. Dr. Gillett has served as president of Lexington Theological Seminary since 2011. Along with her career in higher education, Dr. Gillett has also served as moderator of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as well as numerous other boards and committees. We are grateful for her willingess to lead us in worship.
Join us on Wednesday evening, May 29, at 4:30 p.m. as we celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of a great summer at Central. We are providing a meal of hot dogs, hamburgers and other grilled items while kids enjoy Rosie’s petting zoo and pony rides.
This Sunday we continue our Eastertide celebrations. As we unpack the mystery of resurrection, we will contemplate together the hope that God continuously pours into our lives, inviting us to join in a renewed life together. For the life of God is not merely an individual awakening, but a communal experience where we find connection, hope, and sustenance through God's beloved community.
My sabbatical journey will take me to Providence, Rhode Island, and Dublin, Ireland as I think about the experience of Christian pilgrimage.
Attacks upon houses of worship erode the safety, comfort, and wisdom we have discovered in them....
