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.

Freedom Session 2026 | Introduction
Leader: Emily Grabatin
Freedom Session offers in-depth practical strategies to deal with real issues such as - feeling disconnected from God Beneath these "symptoms" is most likely a wounded and empty heart, looking for hope and meaning. As Jesus heals the heart, unhealthy and destructive ways previously used to escape the pain become less and less attractive. Shame loses its grip and the lies that once sought to destroy are replaced by God's truth and the practical skills to live accordingly. This is the pathway to true and lasting freedom! FREEDOM SESSION is an intensive 10-month healing-discipleship support group of Central. Many who complete Freedom Session consistently describe it as the most significant, practical growing experience in their Christian journey. If you are interested in going through the healing Freedom Session journey in 2026, sign up below to receive all the necessary information, a sample session giving you a taste of Freedom Session, as well as registration links. You'll be given contact info if you have any further questions you want to discussion with the FS Team or a pastor.

No sewing skills required but serving heart is great. If you have sewing machine or serger, please do bring that along as well as sewing scissors, cutting mats and blades and rulers are helpful. Friends and even your teenagers who are willing to work are welcome to join us. It is a night that is so great for the heart and soul as we create something to support others who do not have.
