Visit Central Presbyterian Church

We hope you will visit Central Presbyterian Church.

Sanctuary of Central Central Presbyterian Church is a family of God’s people bound together by the grace of God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. As a community of faith, we rejoice in our cultural diversity. In Word and deed, we proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and bear witness to God’s promise of love, compassion, and salvation. We deepen the faith of our members through teaching, preaching, worship, and prayer. We honor the divine command to be stewards of all that God provides.

The members of Central Presbyterian Church are a warm and welcoming, wonderfully diverse and vibrant mixture of people of all ages, from various international and racial backgrounds. Committed to the importance of strong, Biblical preaching and joyful worship, Central Presbyterian offers two Sunday worship services, an informal service of praise (9 a.m.) with a praise team and band, and a more traditional service of worship (11:00), with a chancel choir and instruments.

For Youth

The church has a strong commitment to children’s education, with opportunities ranging from inventive Sunday school classes to the Christmas pageant. Youth also find much Christian nurture at Central Presbyterian, from classes to retreats to Christian music concerts to the Urbana student mission convention; many teens organize their weekend schedules around CPC activities.

For Adults

Central Presbyterian also provides important spiritual nurture for adults. Several adult education classes have a loyal following, most recently studying the gospel of Matthew and the Lord’s Prayer. The monthly adult Prayer Group has met for more than a decade; and the church is cultivating a Flock Ministry among church members.

Service to the Community

Service to others is important to Central Presbyterian: the church regularly participates in feeding the homeless, providing Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas gift boxes to needy families, and supporting local missions. It reaches out to the community through Habitat for Humanity and the annual Pumpkin Patch.
