A Word from David Martin, Youth Director

It has been proven that youth who have five adults outside of their family who are willing to invest in a teens life are more likely to stay connected to the church. For me and my almost 25 years at Central, there have been many more than five adults who have impacted my life. From my Sunday school teachers, to youth group leaders, Faith Quest elders, camp counselors, and more, I always had countless adults in the church that I knew were supporting me along my journey. I speak often about the influence that Larry Chapman had on me. He would come to watch me play baseball, seek me out on Sunday mornings, and check in every time he saw me. Shirley Swarthout is another church member who had a great impact on me. Shirley gave me the opportunity to help out in the kitchen and serve at all of the meals we would host during the year. I am sure it took great patience on her part to put up with our group of middle and high school boys that had to make more of a mess than we cleaned, but she kept letting us help and giving us the consistent opportunity to serve our church. In fact, looking at the life paths of many of the youth from around my age, I do not think that it is a coincidence that many of us have gone into teaching, ministry, coaching, or higher education. There was always a constant support system for all of us. 

Today, Central is in a great position. Our youth and children’s programs continue to grow, and with that comes a great opportunity. As we continue to work towards our goal of connecting with the future generations, I ask that you please consider becoming a volunteer for our youth program and help us continue to impact the lives of the youth and their families at Central. There are many different ways that you are able to get involved.

2nd Monday Good Samaritan Volunteering

The second Monday of each month, volunteers from CCC help prepare and serve lunch at Good Samaritan Inn.  Shifts to work are 9:00a.m. - 11:00a.m. to prepare and 11:30a.m. - 1:30p.m. to serve (standing for 2 hrs). It's very rewarding work and much appreciated.  If this appeals  to you and you have the time to give, call or text Judy Ford or contact the church office.

Drivers Wanted

With the onset of the Covid pandemic, we naturally suspended our program of offering rides to Sunday worship. But two years later, we have people who would like to come to worship but are unable to do so due to age, health, and/or some combination of the two.  If you are willing to be a volunteer who brings someone to and from worship (on either a regular or periodic basis), we would love to know who you are.  Please contact the church office and let us know.  You would need only to:

  • Tell us which service you prefer to attend, and we would match you up with someone who would like to attend that service.
  • Provide us a copy of your driver’s license and proof of personal auto insurance.

Many thanks for considering.  The people who want to come to worship but are unable to, really want to come, and this will no doubt be a blessing to them.
