CENTRAL NEWS & UPDATES
This Sunday
What does Jesus do with us when we've got wrong expectations? He doesn't dismiss us; rather he shepherds us, points us to the Father's goodness, and sends us out in the power of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 1, we see why the Ascension isn't Jesus leaving us behind; it’s the doorway to the Spirit's power and the promise of Jesus’ return. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., or 5 p.m. as visiting pastor John Bourgeois continues our summer sermon series "Questions for Jesus" with a sermon titled “Will you at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?”
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!
Summer Socials
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!

SermonsOur 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.
