Central Presbyterian Church’s Mission Statement (“CPR”)
"In Christ’s service we are:
Calling people to discipleship
Praising God together
Reaching out with the love of Jesus."
The Purpose of the Church
“We, the members of Central Presbyterian Church, affirm that we, united
as one body in Christ, are led by the Scriptures and our faith toward a
total dedication to God.
“Guided by the Living Word, we are dedicated to gathering together
regularly to recharge our faith through love, praise, education, and
fellowship.
“We, as a changing church, striving to meet the needs of the time, affirm
that our purpose is to declare, spread and live the Good News through
ministry to each other, our community and the fellowship of God’s people
throughout the world.”
