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!

Our nursery is staffed with trained Central volunteers, and young children, ages 4-fourth grade, are invited to Children and Worship. You will also find ample parking in our lot.

“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!”

Rev. Thomas L. Bos

Ash Wednesday, February 18
Worship at 12:15 PM & 5:30 PM
Ash Wednesday is a day for prayer and public confession of sins. The biblical witness is found in the opening epic of the human story: “you are dust and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19). We will celebrate Holy Communion and offer the Imposition of Ashes, a vivid and tangible reminder of our sinfulness and mortality and of our utter dependence upon the grace of God and the power of Christ’s resurrection. Thomas Merton once said, “Ash Wednesday is full of joy… The source of all sorrow is the illusion that of ourselves we are anything but dust.”
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.
