Ministering to our college students...

Central is looking for help to show our support to the college students from our church.  There are a number of ways to help minister to these students:

• Please share updated mailing addresses for your college students.
• We’re looking for donations of gift cards or small food packages (nonperishable items) to put in care packages with other items.
• We need volunteers to assemble these care packages to send out to the students.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer in some fashion, please reach out to David Martin or Gretchen Kirby.

Search Committee Update, 9/13/23

The search committee has been working on finding Central a new Associate Pastor.  Our work has not been impacted by the sabbatical. 

To date we have reviewed numerous profiles of candidates who have expressed an interest in Central.  We held Zoom interviews with three well-qualified pastors.  We currently have one candidate we plan to talk with again in the near future.

While we pray to have our work completed this year,  our group will continue as long as necessary to find the right person for Central.  Please contact Gregg Foltz at with any comments or questions. Your prayers are appreciated! 

Card Ministry is Moving On Up

Do you have a creative side? Is caregiving an important part of your personal ministry?  If so, the Card Ministry of Central Christian Church might be for you.

This vital ministry has recently moved up one floor, to Room 411/412, but continues to meet at 9:30 a.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. Our next gathering will be 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 19.

To participate, you don't need to be good at card-making and writing.  We're simply looking for people with either of those talents or anyone who would simply enjoy the fellowship with like-minded Christians.

Please contact Theresa Fulk at with any questions. We'd love to have you join us! 

Children’s Sunday School News

We will be moving back upstairs on September 10 for Sunday School. We’re excited for you to see the changes that have been made. We have added a NEW Sunday School room for our 3rd - 6th graders (Room 340), and redecorated the Rainbow Room (Room 320) for our 4-year-olds - 2nd graders. Families, please watch for an email and an invitation letter in the mail with more details.

Thanks to ALL of the volunteers who worked with the children this summer to provide a great experience in Sunday School and to everyone who worked to prepare the rooms!
