Wondering where to start? What to do next?
Welcome Center: The friendly staff at the Welcome Center in the lower foyer is delighted to assist you. Not sure where a class or small group meets? What about childcare? Wondering how to find your way around a big church? No question is trivial; stop by the Welcome Center to ask.
Guest Reception: After each morning service, guests are invited to come to a reception in their honor in Room 123. Refreshments served, questions answered, and a brief introduction to Central Assembly provided.
Central Connection: This one-time, once-a-month orientation will help you discover further how to connect. This class meets the second Sunday of each month in Room 123 at 10:30am.
Core Classes: This sequence of classes will help participants journey deeper into community life at Central Assembly. Eager to meet others as you learn more about Central? Ready to grow your life with Christ? Won-dering for what purpose God has uniquely designed you? Ready to lead a new group? Core classes will orient you fully regarding all that can be experienced at Central. See page 3 for more details. Look in each week’s church bulletin for dates, locations, and registration.
Smaller Groups: Want to grow? Really grow? We find this happens best when experienced with others. Check out this Connections Catalog to learn about Central’s Christian Education classes, small groups, outreach groups, Bible studies, and more!
