WEDNESDAYS

Wednesday Nights | 6PM | Connect Center
Depending on the week, they could be meeting for YOUTH NIGHT, or experiencing an epic FIRST WEDNESDAY!

YOUTH NIGHT

Youth Night is the highlight of the week for Central Students!

We kick things off with pizza and fellowship, giving students a chance to hang out and connect. Then we dive into a high-energy game, followed by a powerful time of worship. Each night includes a relevant, Christ-centered lesson, and we wrap up in small groups where students can ask questions, share, and grow deeper in their faith together.

FIRST WEDNESDAYS

First Wednesdays are all about fun, friends, and friendly competition!

Once a month, we press pause on our usual rhythm and go all-in on game night. Whether it’s teaming up for color war, shooting hoops outside, or going head-to-head in a wacky game, there’s something for everyone. It’s a full hour and a half of nonstop laughs, epic matchups, and memory-making moments. Bring your game face—and your friends—because First Wednesdays are always a blast!

SUNDAYS

Sunday Mornings | 9:30AM | Connect Center
Most Sundays, students dive into SUNDAY SMALL GROUP—but every FIRST SUNDAY, they join the Main Auditorium for a powerful, church-wide worship!

Sunday SMALL GROUP

Sunday Small Group is where students connect and grow in their faith.

We kick things off by hanging out and playing games, creating a fun and welcoming space. Then we shift into worship and journaling to focus our hearts on God. After that, we dive into a meaningful, Christ-centered lesson followed by group discussion—where students are encouraged to share, ask questions, and explore their faith together!

first sundays

First Sundays are a special part of the rhythm for Central Students!

On the first Sunday of each month, students join the entire church family in the Main Auditorium for the full Sunday service. It’s a chance to worship together, experience powerful teaching, and be part of the larger body of Christ. These mornings help students feel connected to the church as a whole and remind them they play an important role in what God is doing through our community.
