“Safety is not the absence of threat. It is the presence of connection.” – Gabor Mate

It’s hard to feel safe in a world riddled with conflict and violence, where basic civil rights are threatened each day. But our safety doesn’t come from eliminating all threats. It comes from opening our hearts to connect with God and our neighbors. At Central Presbyterian Church we do that through worship, service, and spiritual formation courses. Mark your calendars and join us this fall as we seek to connect, grow, and live courageously.

Students and teachers – bring your backpacks to be blessed. All – stay for a light lunch and hear about our fall programs and groups.

“Take courage: I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
