Welcome to
Central Reformed

Connecting all people to God and to one another...

Whether you’re just stopping by, worshiping with us online, or in search of a new church home, we’re glad you’re here! Central has been in ministry since 1840, connecting all people to God and to one another through scripture, sacrament, song, and service. We are known for our commitment to excellence in classical worship, our intentional spiritual formation and discipleship for all ages, our liberating theology that celebrates the great diversity of thought across the Reformed tradition, and our service to our community. There’s a place for you and your family at Central!

FROM OUR SENIOR MINISTER

“The July 4th federal holiday commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, an earnest and imperfect document in which the founders of our nation invested their hope for the future. Much of their vision has come to fruition through the intervening decades and centuries, though the full promise of their ideals remains as of yet unrealized.  This Friday, I encourage you to meditate on the ways in which the Gospel complements the self-evident truth that all men — all people — are created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. And as you enjoy your tasty dessert while the fireworks flare like flowers in the twilight, try stepping outside of the moment to observe and appreciate the freedom that permeates our daily lives, as invisible and all-encompassing as the air itself, and consider how beautiful and rare it is to experience such freedom in our greater global community.  And let’s thank God for the freedom we celebrate. May we use it wisely to work for a more just and peaceful world. Happy 4th of July!”

— Pastor Steven D. Pierce

  • “Thank you so much for everything! I didn’t know how I was going to eat today. I’m really about to cry. I’ve never had to ask for help to eat, and it is humbling. Thank you!”

  • “I came to church today looking for a miracle. I have eight people in my family to feed and didn’t know what else to do. Thank you so much for your help!”

Experience

We offer a more traditional style of worship, with services structured around praise, reflection, growth, and celebration. We honor God’s love through choral music and hymns, taking the time each week to learn and acknowledge God’s place in our lives.

Connect

Aside from our Sunday worship, we offer numerous opportunities for our members to connect with other Christians and grow in their relationship with God, including youth groups, children’s activities, book studies, and outreach programs.

Serve

We seek to live as Christ did, serving the less fortunate and acting as God’s hands and feet in our community. We have a long-running history of ministry and generosity and provide ways for members to give back to our community.
