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 ExperienceS

VIRTUAL WORSHIP AVAILABLE ON:

Join us each Sunday for a time of praise, Word and spiritual fellowship. Our worship experiences are 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 weekly in worship!

Lectionary Message (Trinity Sunday):  "In worship, we celebrate God who makes Godself known to us in myriad ways. In the end, that is the joy of the doctrine of the Trinity. Whether we can fully grasp the nuanced theological understanding of what Trinity means, we can acknowledge that, in part, it means that God wants to be known and experienced by those who claim the majestic name of God as sovereign. We give thanks for an accessible God.(umcdiscipleship.org)
