An Exciting Mission Update!Our Central Missions Committee is excited to introduce CENTRAL@! The CENTRAL@ initiative is designed to empower you, our church family, to live out our faith
through ongoing, meaningful service throughout the year. This year, CENTRAL@ will celebrate the engagement of our members in the community as we continue building relationships with our community partners. Rather than a one-day event, we will have multiple serving opportunities throughout the year, which can be scheduled to fit your availability. What we've discovered is that our most effective impact in the community
is already happening through each of you. If you're already involved in something in the community or would like to develop a team for a
project you’re passionate about, please reach out! We want to help amplify your efforts and support your mission. Let us know how we can help you serve more effectively through the CENTRAL@! For more info, contact Rev. Chase Burns. |
Campus NewsParking Deck: Central has entered into a parking agreement with the City of Fayetteville. This is a pay-to-park arrangement; however, we do not anticipate any disruption to your parking needs. Please note that there will be no enforcement by the city
on all day on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. If you would like to ensure uninterrupted parking on all days, please provide your license plate number to Jaime Reinen at jreinen@centraltolife.com. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Campus Access: In December a new door access and security system was installed throughout Central's campus. This system assures the safety of our congregation and staff through new technology and will take time to be implemented with our calendar and scheduling. Our goal is to have this completed by February 1, 2025. If you need
building access, please contact Jaime Reinen at 815-685-3416 or jreinen@centraltolife.com. |
