About Christ Central
As a church we exist to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, to be a Christ-centered community and to fulfill the Great Commission in the Bay Area and the world for God's glory.
Mature & Equipped Followers of Jesus
Worship. Belong. Grow. Bless.
Christ Central's whole ministry aims to make mature and equipped followers of Jesus Christ. Four foundational pillars define our mission.

Two services. One family.
It all starts with worship. Each week, we gather because we need to hear the gospel, behold Christ, and be renewed by God’s grace. Join us at either of our services for Christ-centered preaching, praise, and prayer.

Real people. Genuine connections.
Worship brings us together. Belonging is where we connect. Whether you're looking for accountability, friendship, theological conversation, or simple fellowship, discover a place to belong at Christ Central.

Equipping your spiritual walk.
We grow as followers of Jesus together. Community Groups are a great place to begin—studying Scripture, praying, and walking alongside others. If you're ready to go deeper, we offer discipleship, classes, and counseling to help you become a mature and equipped follower of Christ.

Bless others. Love our neighbors. Reach the World.
As we belong and grow together, Christ sends us to bless — serving one another within the church, loving our neighbors locally, and reaching the world globally. Join us as we volunteer to make our church community thrive, partner with Bay Area organizations to help those in need, and support global missions.
Our Core Values
God-glorifying Worship
Worship is both the preeminent calling and purpose of the believer. It is a response to God's gracious invitation to be in relationship with Him and to be done in community.
Gospel Movement
The Gospel is neither an accessory nor adjectival; everything that we do revolves around the good news of Christ's death and resurrection. The gospel of Jesus Christ changes everything, from the individual to the world.
Genuine Personal Community
We value community not simply because it's mandated and beneficial, but because it speaks to the perpetual community that God inhabits. We cultivate community rooted in grace with the aim of acceptance, fellowship, and a deep care for one another.
Discipleship
"Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ" (1 Cor. 11:1). We believe in a holistic, life-on-life discipleship where we aim to equip and make mature followers of Jesus Christ.
Christian Service
We are blessed to be a blessing. Through volunteering and charity, we are not only convicted to share God's love but to show it as well.
Active Church Planting
Church planting is one of the most effective ways to evangelize. The Bay Area is still one of the least churched areas in the country. We desire to regionalize the church in hopes of cultivating a deeper sense of connection.
Next Generation
We believe that the future of the church lies in nurturing the next generation to develop a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, equipping youth with biblical truth, fostering their spiritual growth, and cultivating a sense of belonging.
