A Church for Every Season of Life
Central Christian Church is an independent fellowship of believers with no creed but Christ and no book but the Bible. Planted in the middle of St. Pete, we've been part of this community for generations. Whether you spend your Saturdays on the water or your evenings on Central Avenue, you'll find people just like you in these pews. We believe that everyone who confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior is part of His body. And for those still on the journey, everyone who walks through our doors will find a community that walks alongside them — giving them every opportunity to grow in faith and make that confession for themselves.
"People transformed into fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ."

What About Kids?
At Central, we have something for every age. While adults participate in our main service, we invite your children to join our specially designed zones for infants, toddlers, elementary-aged kids, and teenagers. In these areas, they will enjoy a time of worship and a Christ-centered environment tailored exclusively to their needs.
Children from infants through 5th grade are welcomed in our Kids Wing during all three services, while students in grades 6th-12th gather in our Connect Center during only the 9:30am service!
