About Central

corner_of_power_powerlessYou will find much information about this grand church's life and work here, and will discover why so many refer to this church as "an island of delight" in the very middle of the city of Atlanta.  

Many people associate Central with a long legacy of service as a church deeply engaged in the promise and pain of urban life. Many others think of Central as a wellspring which nourishes the human spirit through rich worship, relevant preaching and a deep sacramental life. Still others associate Central with a community that celebrates diversity and welcomes the stranger until he or she is a stranger no more.

Central's roots go back to the very beginning of Atlanta's life, but we are also a church that is remarkably contemporary. Most importantly, we strive to be attentive to how and where God may be leading us to follow our Lord Jesus Christ in this day and time. From our location at the corner of Power and Powerlessness, we seek to be empowered by the fresh winds of God's Spirit that are blowing in this place even now!

We hope you will take the time to explore this site to learn more, for yourself, about the opportunities for worship, learning, fellowship, and service in this community of faith. Better yet, why don't you visit us next Sunday!

those in need and to call forth God's justice in a chaotic world.


We live out the ongoing story of "The Church That Stayed," joining generations of Central members and others who share this vision to proclaim the Gospel.
