CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
This Sunday
During this Lenten season, we are exploring brief but powerful vignettes from the Gospels, seeking a realistic, behind-the-scenes glimpse into a typical day in Jesus’ earthly ministry. Our prayer is that we will not only better understand his death and resurrection but also be transformed to become more like him. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., or 5 p.m. as Jason Harris continues our series A Day in the Life of Jesus with a sermon entitled "The Day Jesus Made the Best Wine."
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!
Membership Class
Interested in becoming a member of Central? Register now for our next Discovery and Foundations membership class on Sunday, March 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.
Women's Day Retreat
Central is excited to host a Women's Day Retreat on Saturday, February 21 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the church. This year's retreat will invite us to slow down and consider the kind of progress and joy Scripture promises — not progress we produce, and not joy dependent on circumstances, but the work God himself is committed to finishing in us.
"The Letter of Paul to the Philippians"
This four-week course (dates spread across January through March) with Princeton Theological Seminary Professor Matthew Novenson is examining Paul’s short but theologically profound letter to the Philippians. We are reading closely one chapter of the letter in each of our four sessions and discussing key themes.

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.
