We are engaging in a brief two-week sermon miniseries which addresses the topic of financial giving from a Christian perspective. The rationale for the series is simple and straightforward: Along with our time and our talents, giving our treasure is vital to our spiritual maturity. This past Sunday we began considering how to cultivate the gift of generosity in order to become fully-formed followers of Jesus.
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!
"I hope you will join me this fall as we seek to cultivate a spirit of gratitude so that we might find our deepest joy and satisfaction in the One who freely bestows every good and perfect gift." Read Senior Pastor Jason Harris' latest quarterly newsletter to the Central community.

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.
Central children will discover the joy of being children of God and take a journey through the Bible at Vacation Bible School 2025: Jungle Journey!

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.
