Welcome.

Join us for Advent at Christ Central!

Join us as we celebrate Advent!

The King is coming. Jesus Christ has come and will come again. This is the hope of the Church whom He purchased with His blood. Jesus’ coming is the eager expectation and desire of His people. It is our joy because He is our treasure and greatest good. This is the theme of “Advent,” formed from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival.” It’s the traditional celebration of the first advent of Jesus in humility and the anxious awaiting of His second advent in glory. The season is a time for remembering and rejoicing, watching and waiting. Learn more about all of our Advent happenings below!

Our Church

A community of people.

We seek to be a diverse community that reflects the beautiful makeup of Durham and lives out our commitment to justice and mercy for those on the margins of society. We long to be a community that reflects unity and diversity across race, class, and generations.

Our Calling

Called to rest in Christ.

You are accepted as you are and have nothing to prove. That is the kind of rest you can find rest in Christ—and it comes before we can do anything else. We pursue rest through spiritual practices and through slowed-down spirituality, emotionally healthy vulnerability, and in community.

Our Commission

Living for the renewal of all things in the city for the world.

God has given each of us unique gifts and abilities as we live for the renewal of all things in the city for the world. There are many ways to serve at Christ Central—whether you’re serving through a volunteer role like ushering, in the city, or through global missions, there’s a place for you to be a part of gospel renewal.

We seek to keep God’s work of renewal at the center of all we do through:

Spiritual Renewal

We want to see individual lives changed and community formed by believing the gospel, belonging to community, and becoming more like Christ.

Social Renewal

We want to help cultivate flourishing for all people through championing mercy and pursuing justice for individuals and systems.

Cultural Renewal

We want to be people who integrate our faith into our vocations, recreations, and creations.

Join in Community

We want to be a church that’s a reflection of our city and God’s Kingdom. Find your place to belong.

Gather to grow in grace, community, and mission through a City Group or one of our many ministries centered around stages of life.
