Central Presbyterian Church is participating in the Safe Place Initiative. This initiative is creating safe places for reporting hate crimes. As a Safe Place we have received training on our response to those seeking help.

Reproductive Freedom

Information re: Central Presbyterian Church and Reproductive Freedom

The Presbyterian Church USA

The Presbyterian Church (USA) believes that states should not be involved in creating hurdles to accessing abortion. At the 220th General Assembly in 2012 we affirmed, “no law should impose criminal penalties against any [person] who chooses or physician who performs a medically safe abortion…, and no law should sanction any action intended to harm or harass those persons contemplating or deciding to have an abortion.” 

Full statement

Central Presbyterian Church

Central Presbyterian Church is a member of “Reproductive Freedom Congregation”

Reproductive Freedom Congregations publicly affirm three principles:

  • We trust and respect women.
  • We promise that people who attend our congregation will be free from stigma, shame, or judgment for their reproductive decisions, including abortion.
  • We believe access to comprehensive and affordable reproductive health services is a moral and social good.
