Joyfully Making disciples for God’s Glory

Founded in 1868, the church existed even before the town was founded. A small group of believers saw the need for a gospel presence in the railroad community and began gathering to worship. As Central has grown, so has the need for the gospel, and we continue to make Jesus known in our community.
