Black History Month at Christ Central Church

What Carter G. Woodson initially began as Negro History Week in 1926 is now a month long celebration, to reflect, study and celebrate the enormous contributions made by Black Americans in all parts of society. On this centennial anniversary, Christ Central is grateful for the sacrifice and perseverance of Black Americans who have left an indelible mark on this country, especially those in the faith whom God has used to be a prophetic witness to his presence with his people.

Join us as we read Letter from Birmingham Jail by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to hear in his own words what is a Christian response to justice, obedience, and oppression for the American Church.

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.
