Central Christian Church
Central Christian Church is a Disciples Of Christ church at 17833 Gambier Rd in Mt Vernon, OH 43050-8573. It is one of 44 churches in Mt Vernon, and one of 2 Disciples Of Christ congregations in the city.
We are a congregation of Christ-followers who have been led by the Good News of God's love made known in Jesus Christ to serve God's transformation of Licking County.
We were established here in Newark in 1884; our history of helping establish other congregations in Licking County led to our name "Central" back in 1914, and we moved to our current location at the corner of Mt. Vernon Road & Rugg Avenue in 1950 from downtown.

Central Christian Church is part of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family of churches in The American Church Story. 644 congregations of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family gather across Ohio — 10,488 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Stone-Campbell churches asked American Christians to put down their party names and be simply Christians, and they meant it enough to give up their own. Their plea for one table, and their weekly return to it, is one of the few genuinely American gifts to the church's understanding of itself.
