Welcome to Central Presbyterian Church
“Inspired music, powerful sermons, mission focused, loving, fun, and quirky.” – – These are a few words people use to describe Central Presbyterian Church, CPC, a deliberately diverse and fully inclusive congregation located in Downtown Austin.
Serving the greater Austin area, our commitment to diversity is grounded in Christ’s example. He crossed theological, political, socio-economic, and geographical boundaries to reveal God’s boundless love. Then he called his disciples to do the same. At CPC, we respond to this call with vibrant worship and faithful service.
Our members come from all walks of life and a wide variety of religious backgrounds. Whether your faith is growing or crumbling, you will find loving support at CPC, not judgment. Whether you are gay, trans, or straight; old or young; male, female or nonbinary; educated or not; we will be thrilled to welcome you. Since each individual is a unique expression of divine love, your presence is a gift to us that allows us to experience God more fully. We hope you experience the Spirit at work among us.
