Celebrating 180 Years of Faith, Legacy, and Community
For nearly two centuries, Central has stood as a place of hope, spiritual strength, and steadfast community. Generation after generation has gathered here to worship, grow, and serve together, building a legacy rooted in faith and resilience. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we pause to honor the journey that brought us here and the countless lives that have shaped our story.
A Legacy Built on Faith
Central’s story began 180 years ago with a small, faithful group committed to serving God and their community. What started as a humble gathering has grown into a multigenerational church family that continues to impact lives across St. Louis. This milestone invites us to reflect on the leaders, members, and ministries that shaped our past and continue to guide our future.
Honoring Our Past, Embracing Our Future
As we celebrate this historic anniversary, we look back with gratitude and look forward with purpose. The same commitment to worship, service, and community that defined Central for generations remains the foundation for what comes next. Our prayer is that this season inspires renewed vision, unity, and excitement for the church we are building together.
