House Churches start the week of September 20
If you’re looking for a small group to grow with God and in community, check out our house churches. We hope that you will find encouragement for your spiritual journey.
Thursdays at 7pm at CSC; From October 1 to November 19
Alpha is a fun dinner series followed by group conversations designed for those who would not identify as Christians. The talks are designed to encourage conversation and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and everyone is free to discuss as much or as little as they wish. There’s no pressure, no follow up and no charge. Everyone is welcome.
Join us to share a meal together, watch a short video, and converse about life questions. You can also come and invite a friend to attend! If you want to know more, we invite you to join us for the first week of Alpha! It will be a fun evening where you can find out if Alpha is for you.
Please let us know if you can make it so we have enough food. But feel free to drop by if you’re not sure yet! Sign up below!

Pastor Jean will facilitate this panel discussion on Dating and Marriage.
Dating and the journey toward marriage do not look the same for everyone. Come listen as panelists with a variety of experiences share what they have learned about relationships, discernment, disappointment, hope, and following Christ along the way.

CSC Member and Deacon, Daria, will teach this class on Singleness and Contentment.
Our culture often treats romantic relationships as the key to happiness and fulfillment, but Scripture offers a larger vision of a full and joyful life in Christ. This workshop invites the whole church to explore singleness through Scripture and church history, making honest room for grief and unmet desires while embracing contentment, meaning, and joy in the present.
centralsquare.church/event/sunday-school-2
CSC Member Sheila Wise Rowe, will teach this class on Trauma and Relationships.
Trauma can shape how we experience trust, conflict, closeness, and safety, often affecting our relationships in ways we may not immediately recognize. Whether trauma is part of your own story or the story of someone you love, this workshop will help us grow in understanding, compassion, and the ability to build healthier relationships together.
NOTE: Please read the book The Best We Could Do in advance if possible
centralsquare.church/event/sunday-school-3
CSC Member Eric Brown, will teach this class on Relationships with Our Parents.
This workshop explores how people can learn to relate with their parents in new, healthier ways, unlearning old patterns and building a more mature relationship based on who you both are now, rather than who you were. The discussion will be based on the graphic novel, “The Best We Could Do” by Thi Bui which we encourage you to read beforehand if you are able.
Everyone is welcome to attend and learn more about CSC outreach initiatives in our city!
Calling all college students! Join us after service on Sunday November 8th at 12:30pm in the Lounge to eat, play, connect, and pray. Pizza will be provided. Hope to see you there!
Sharing from the CSC Engage project report
This past spring, more than 200 people across CSC participated in a congregation-wide project known as CSC Engage. The goal of CSC Engage was to invite the congregation to reflect, pray, and listen for God’s guidance as we discern the future of our church and seek to live more fully into our vision. We’ll reflect together on the themes and insights that emerged and also consider what they might mean for our community moving forward.
