What to Expect

We would be excited to have you join us for worship!  Here are some brief descriptions regarding what you can expect at our worship services.  If you have addtional questions please contact us. 

For those with Children:  We have supervised nursery and children’s programs that offer Christ-centered teaching and activities in a fun and  caring atmosphere. Greeters at the doors and Welcome Center will be happy to assist you in taking your children to their classrooms.     

CommunionWe partake in communion each Sunday, just as the early church practiced. It is a time when believers remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our sin. We invite all Christians to partake of the emblems as they are passed, or hold them and take when you are ready.  Containers are available in the chair rack on the seat in front of you for your cup. 

Offering:  We include an offering as part of our service to give our members the opportunity to support the work of the church and to thank God for His blessings. We do not expect our guests to give anything when the offering plate is passed, but if you wish to join us in worshipping this way, you are welcome to do so. 

Decisions:  We offer an invitation at the end of each worship service.  It is an invitation for you to become a Christian.  Becoming a Christian involves believing that Jesus is God’s Son and that He died on the cross and rose from the grave to offer forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life; confessing that belief to others; repenting or turning away from sin and   living for God; and being baptized in water (we practice baptism by immersion under water which was the Biblical practice). 

If you have already taken each of these steps and would like to partner with the Central Christian Church in membership, then you can do that simply by confessing your faith in Christ at the direction of the leadership.
