Central Presbyterian Church
a caring, inquiring, inclusive community
Adult Programs at Central Presbyterian Church
Central provides diverse opportunities for adults to find fellowship. Whether it is through music, mission outreach, study or worship, there are ample opportunities to get involved.
Congregational Potluck
The first Sunday of each month, the community of Central
Presbyterian Church gathers to share a common meal and fellowship following morning
worship (after 11:00 am) in Fellowship Hall.
In good Presbyterian fashion, these gatherings have a purpose as
well. Watch the bulletin for the theme
and bring your food offerings and appetite.
