Lent is a season for the Christian church to lament and grieve our sins and the sins of the world as we long for healing and full redemption, which comes through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, which we celebrate during Holy Week.
In Lent, the Church reflects and examines the darkness that lies within our own hearts and the darkness of our world. It is a season of repentance and a cry for God to restore and redeem in anticipation of Easter Day, when the crucified Messiah powerfully resurrected and ushered in redemption. Lent is a time to enter into mourning, to ask God to help us see our own frailty and brokenness, to help us mourn for our neighbors, our city, and our world, crying out for deep personal and corporate repentance.
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.
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.
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.
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 want to see individual lives changed and community formed by believing the gospel, belonging to community, and becoming more like Christ.
We want to help cultivate flourishing for all people through championing mercy and pursuing justice for individuals and systems.
We want to be people who integrate our faith into our vocations, recreations, and creations.
