Christ Central Church

About this church

Christ Central Church in Durham holds Sunday services at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:30 a.m. Each lasts about seventy-five minutes and follows an embodied liturgy of prayer, blended hymns, gospel and contemporary music, confession, expository preaching, and Communion. A parking team watches for newcomers and directs them to reserved spaces; surrounding streets provide overflow parking. Coffee and conversation continue on the lawn afterward. Newcomers’ luncheons provide a setting to meet pastors and put names to faces. Sermons and livestream access are available online.

The church describes its calling as resting in Christ while working for renewal “in the city for the world.” That takes shape through a deliberately multiracial, multigenerational community, City Groups, ministries for many ages and stages of life, disability ministry, emotionally healthy spirituality, and service focused on mercy and justice. Christ Central commits ten percent of its annual operating budget to work in Durham and beyond. Visitors may appreciate that worship practices are explained in advance, three start times provide flexibility, and the church distinguishes spiritual, social, and cultural renewal. Its broad formation pathway supports people looking for Scripture study, honest small-group relationships, vocational integration, or practical service at the margins of the city.
