A Christ-Centered Community in Atlanta, GA

Our Vision Statement

“A Christ-Centered, Radically Inclusive, Intergenerational congregation that uses its Spiritual Gifts
to meet the needs of our unique surrounding Community.”

Central "LIVE" Worship Experience

VIRTUAL WORSHIP AVAILABLE ON:

Join us each Sunday for a time of praise, Word and spiritual fellowship. Our worship experience is broadcast live on our YouTube channel and live-streamed on our Facebook page.

At Central, we practice the "Six Marks of Discipleship:" daily prayer, Bible reading, weekly worship, Christian service, relationships that encourage spiritual growth, and giving in the spirit of generosity.

We look forward to seeing you at our weekly worship!

Lectionary Message:  "Worship is catching our breath in the busyness of living. It is that moment when we pause and reflect and remember who we are and whose we are. We need selah moments in our lives daily." (umcdiscipleship.org)
