What to Expect
I'm New
Sunday mornings are casual and contemporary. Stop by the Welcome Desk for a small gift for our first time guests.
Worship Service
Service begins with a welcome from Pastor Carl and a few announcements. Worship begins with our praise band leading several songs. One of our traditions is to join in communion each Sunday. All who trust in Jesus are invited to participate. The message is usually 25-35 minutes long, and after a closing song and prayer, the pastor will be at the sanctuary door if you’d like to meet him.
Prayer
We encourage you to share with us those times in your life when you need someone to walk alongside you. Fill out a Prayer and Praise card from the table in the narthex or you can contact the office 937.390.2424. To be on the prayer list fill out a Prayer List card and you will receive weekly prayer updates.
Kids Ministry
Children are our future. Here at Central, we value children and families. It’s our vision to be a place where children and youth will come to personally know and experience Christ’s love and truth, and be equipped to serve Him in our community. Our nursery, toddlers, and pre-school open at 10:15 am. K-6th grade children stay with their parents in the sanctuary and are dismissed before the sermon.

Entering Heaven Like a Child
The Big Idea: Children teach us how to come to Jesus. Mark 10:15, Matt 18:2-4.
- Children come with humility.
Matthew 18:4 - Children know that Jesus wants to accept us, not reject us.
John 3:16-17 - Children believe that Jesus is who he says he is.
John 3:18 - Children climb into his lap.
Rom10:9-13, Col 2:6
