Centrum Church is a community that is dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus while cultivating authentic relationships.
We cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. [1 Thessalonians 2:8] (NIV)
We have 3 Core Values: Gospel + Community + Mission.
The Gospel is our motivation for loving God, loving others, and making our city flourish. It converts us from the inside out so that we take joy in showing others the same grace that God has showed us.
Through an authentic and caring Community, we intentionally involve one another in deepening relationships. Even though we come from different subcultures and have diverse testimonies, Christ makes us one family.
We accept the opportunity to extending God's grace and mercy to others. WE give of ourselves for the sake of others. WE serve other in the church, bu we also love and care for the larger city and beyond by meeting real needs.
Here is space to get to know the leaders of Centrum Church and the history behind this amazing community!
View MoreWe want to be a place that allows authentic relationships to develop while growth is encouraged on the spiritual journey. We want to invite those who are de-churched, unchurched, and far-away from God to develop an organic relationship with us while developing a relationship with Jesus Christ. The vision is “Connecting Communities with Christ at the Center”.
We exist to cultivate a community that glorifies God by making disciples who will transform the city. We embrace the Great Commission within our identity while we recognize authentic relationships change families, and families change communities. As we hold Christ at the center of all that we do, we believe through this community, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can transform the city!
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.
The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.
