Central: In the City for Good
If you are looking for a church home, we are looking for you.
When you visit Central, you will encounter a congregation that desires to be in the city for good. Worship features preaching that is both relevant to the big issues in our lives and world, and are biblically-based. Our music is excellent, featuring traditional organ and choir works, but also exceptional guest musicians including African musical ensembles, jazz pianists, and classical instrumentalists. Active groups within the church bring vitality to our missions and church community.
We intend to be in the city for good.
Central sits between the capitol and MPR, between Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegone and the
Union Gospel Mission. We see ourselves as an important part of our downtown neighborhood 
and are engaged in city issues. At a crossroads of real life in the city, through our missions and our presence, we try to do good. Like many, many downtown churches with large building facilities, Central has seen decades of significant decline in church membership and worship attendance as Saint Paul's suburbs grew. We are in an exciting period, a pivotal time to live or die. We will risk becoming the church God needs. We focus on reaching out to new people. We are committed to connecting people with God and with others.
