Live Courageously!

Rally Day, Sept 10, 2023

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

Picture of connecting hands

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

Austin Pride Week takes place each year in August and hosts a week-long series of events and parties culminating in a major parade. Over 120+ entries, floats, special live performances will participate in the event that kicks off at 8pm and runs until 11 pm. For more info, visit: https://austinpride.org/pride-2024/

Happy Pride Month!

Each week in worship, we will celebrate the many gifts that members of the LGBTQ+ community bring to us. We hope you will join us as we learn to be better allies and advocates for social justice.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Join us on Sunday for our May Sermon Series: Mental Notes for an Inspired Life. Worship services will focus on the intersection between spiritual and emotional health.

“Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity for all of us to remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability.

“We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.” – National Alliance on Mental Illness

Amanda Tyler speaks at CPC

On April 16th, we were blessed by Amanda Tyler’s powerful sermon during worship and her presentation afterward. If you missed it, you can watch both at these links: SERMON LINK and  PRESENTATION LINK. Her inspiring and informative message calls Christians to preserve the integrity of faith by upholding the separation of church and state.
Amanda is the Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, BJC, and organizer of BJC’s Christians Against Christian Nationalism  campaign and co-host of BJC’s Respecting Religion podcast.
