Unlike others who are sent by God throughout the Bible, the prophet Isaiah is the only one who volunteers to be sent! However, the circumstances in Isaiah 6 that lead up to his stepping forward are key to our understanding why he was willing to do so. Join us this Sunday at 10 or 11:30 a.m. as Rev. Andrew Smith continues our summer sermon series Sent By God with a sermon titled "The Motivation for Going."
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?

Summer Socials are events throughout the summer that provide opportunities to build community within our congregation, welcome those who are new to the city and/or to church, and engage our city outside the walls of Central. Check out what we have going on over the rest of the summer!
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.
