Central Presbyterian Church was my church home during my College years (2010-2012) and I have attended several times since I've moved away. The sermons are often riveting emotionally or intellectually. There are often several events going on that you can get plugged into outside of the usual services. I liked that there was an evening service on Sundays; I preferred that small, intimate setting. The pastors were very theologically solid with an emphasis on the sufficiency and love of Christ (although a little heavy handed at times on our insufficiency and unworthiness ... not that there isn't truth to that, but I personally found that to be somewhat depressing sometimes. And it really depends on the pastor who's preaching, too.) The congregation is kind of divided between super friendly, Christ-seeking people and the other bit seems to be largely stand-offish ... so I'd say that if you don't like those ridiculously friendly churches and you'd like to sort of blend in and be an introvert this is a decent church for that. I think one of the hallmarks of this church is its effort to reach out to the community. There's a lot of outreach the church tries to do towards the poorer part of the community; namely the African-American population. They've really made an effort to start a dialogue on a lot of social justice issues. The worship is always incredible and I've seen it go through a lot of different phases. What drew me in was the unique jazz-style worship of Trio (the smaller Sunday evening service) in the past, but I've also heard remarkable bluegrass, folk, gospel and rock styles. Very classy, talented and moving worship that's largely departed from a lot of the showmanship-aimed rock concert style worship you get a lot of modern churches.
A bible-based church with an amazing pastor. I miss it terribly since I moved away.
Central Pres is a great church that I enjoyed being a part of for many years. I learned a lot, grew in faith, and made some great friends while I was there. I definitely recommend it to those who are searching for a great church.
We drive over an hour to attend this church. It is a Bible based church with a wonderful preacher, Clay Smith. The music is wonderful. Come visit, you'll feel the warmth of God's love here.
