Christ Central Durham

RENEW Conference

In a world that often leaves us weary, distracted, and spiritually depleted, God invites us to be renewed. Join us for the 2026 Renew Conference, a two-day gathering focused on spiritual renewal and deeper communion with Christ.

Together, we will create space for the Holy Spirit to refresh our hearts and reorient our lives around God's presence and purposes. Whether you are longing for renewed joy, greater intimacy with God, or simply a chance to slow down and listen, this conference is an opportunity to be renewed alongside others in the body of Christ.We are delighted to welcome Howard and Kellie Brown as our guest speakers for this special weekend.

Our conference will begin on Friday, October 23rd from 5:30 pm-8:00 pm. We will reconvene on Saturday, October 24th from 8:30 am-12:00 pm. The cost for the weekend is $30. We hope you'll join us!

Fall Formation at Christ Central

We’re excited to share Christ Central’s Formation Pathway—a way for everyone in our community to intentionally pursue spiritual formation as a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ. The pathway begins with our Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course, our foundational formation course, where we explore the connection between emotional and spiritual maturity and learn practices that help us slow down and attend to God’s presence. From there, City Groups and our Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies and 50+ Sunday School provide opportunities to study Scripture, pray together, share life, and grow in meaningful relationships. Finally, Confessional Life Groups offer a deeper space for formation through confession, repentance, prayer, accountability, and other spiritual practices within honest and trusting relationships. Wherever you are on the journey, we invite you to consider your next step toward becoming more deeply rooted in Christ.

This fall we will be offering City Groups, Bible Studies, a Work and Life Module, and Confessional Life Groups. Learn more and sign up for these opportunities using the links below!

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.
