Plan Your Visit
Family is at the heart of everything we do at Central.

Tucked into the quiet Tyrone neighborhood, between the Gulf beaches and the heart of downtown St. Pete, we're a church built around the belief that every stage of family life matters.

Whatever season your family is in, there's a place here to connect and grow. While family drives us, we're here for everyone.

Two things guide everything we do — Loving God, Loving Others. That's the Central Difference. So whoever you are and wherever you're from, near or far, you're welcome here.

Church Calendar

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.

Wherever you are on your journey, you'll find people here who walk alongside you, giving you the space to grow in faith and take that step when you're ready.

Our mission and vision drive what we do.
"People transformed into fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ."
Support the Mission: Loving God and loving others takes all of us.
Your generosity funds local outreach, youth programs, global missions, and everything we do to serve St. Petersburg and beyond.
Every gift is an act of worship as we serve Him with our heads, hearts, and hands.
