As a church, our purpose is to help people connect with God and others. The purpose of a GROUP is to help people strengthen these connections and be growing disciples.
This reflects our desire to follow a command of Jesus when He said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20).
Our primary goal is to create environments where people can be Growing Disciples. A Growing Disciple is someone whose relationship with Jesus is impacting every area of their life. They are taking specific steps to intentionally grow in one or more of the following areas: Discipleship, Community, Serving, and Mission.
Discipleship – learn to put God first; grow in the understanding of who God is and who He has made you to be.
Community – find others you can build meaningful relationships.
Serving – see and respond to needs around you by using your spiritual gifts, passion, personality, and natural abilities.
Mission – help make our world a better place and reach out to others with the love of Jesus.
We have many different types of groups to help you find one that fits your needs. Below you will find a description of each group type and the option to search for a group by area, night or type.
If you need help finding the right fit at any time, email our team at groups@centralcc.ca, and someone will be more than happy to get you started.

How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Spring Planter Workshop
Leader: Christiane Rutledge
It’s that time of year when the gardens are starting to come back to life. Come join us for a planter workshop focused on fun and conversation with friends and family. We will make a spring planter, enjoy a short devotional time, play some games and share dessert. We’ll be getting our hands dirty, so plan accordingly – and don’t forget to register by April 17th and choose if you’d like to make a teapot planter or a succulent mini-garden. Cost: $30 per person, payable with registration. Facilitated by Christiane Rutledge and Tammy Palumbo.
