Central Presbyterian Church

About this church

Central Presbyterian Church worships at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday in Eugene’s West University neighborhood, with a livestream and recording available online. The service normally lasts about an hour and is described as both casual and traditional, usually accompanied by organ and by the choir during the school year. Visitors may dress up or arrive in jeans and sandals. All ages are welcome in the sanctuary, where a supervised children’s area provides art supplies, quiet activities, books, and beanbags; childcare from birth through preschool is available across the hall.

The main parking lot is north of the building, entered from 14th Street or the Ferry Street alley, with more alley and street parking available. After worship, the parlor offers coffee, tea, cookies, and conversation; second Sundays from September through May add a potluck. Central identifies as a progressive, Reformed Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation and summarizes its community as caring, inquiring, and inclusive. Organized in 1855, it has a long connection to university campus ministry and social engagement. Current mission partnerships include refugee resettlement in Lane County, relief and education in Syria and Lebanon, fair-trade coffee, hunger work, disaster assistance, and support for young people.
