Deliberately diverse and fully inclusive
We seek to be a deliberately diverse community of faith—our strength grows in proportion to the diversity of the voices in our midst. Our congregation is made up of a variety of people from a variety of backgrounds and socio-economic status; we are rich, poor, homeless, housed, black, white, gay and straight, and we gather together to live into our call to be the Body of Christ. Will you consider joining us in this effort?
Our Mission
Deliberately diverse and fully inclusive, Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Austin is a community of Christian faith where each person is welcomed as a unique child of God.
Our Vision
Ministering to the needs of God’s people is at the heart of this congregation; individually and together, we respond to God’s love, grace and justice in Jesus Christ; guided by scripture and our Reformed tradition, we actively work toward peace, justice and spiritual growth; through worship, music, fellowship, Christian education, and service to others, we continue to glorify God and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
Our Beliefs in Action

We are recognized as a Safe Place by the Austin Police Department and are committed to assist any victim of a bias-motivated incident or hate crime.
As part of our commitment to serving our unhoused neighbors, we have a robust Neighbors Program that not only serves weekly breakfast, but also publicly advocates for neighbors.
