We come together to affirm and to celebrate our unity and our oneness with each other and with God.  We honor and welcome people of every age, race, culture, lifestyle and belief.  We embrace in light and love all spiritual groups of every faith and denomination, gathering anywhere on our planet.  We honor all the many paths to God; the many names for God; the many ways in which to worship God.  For we know that God, as light and love, expresses equally on every path.

Our faith tradition is based on a life-transforming story. The ELCA's story is both ancient and timely. It's a story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people of the world, who brings justice for the oppressed. It's a story of Jesus Christ, changing lives. It's a story that brings comfort and strength to people who today live in modern, often unsettling times. Learn more about our beliefs and become a part of our story.

We are Central Church, a servant community working for a world of peace and justice. We are a voice speaking out from within our city, like a conscience speaks to the person to whom it belongs, and whose life it shares. Counting on the rock of our faith in Christ, we proclaim, follow, and worship a God who calls us to create a faith-powered, justice-seeking, reconciling, and peace-loving world for all people.
