family life ministries
Central Church wants to be an active part in the spiritual growth of its members and the surrounding community. The Family Life Center (FLC) is part of the Family Ministries and is a direct extension of the mission and ministry of Central Church. The FLC mission is to share God’s love and the Hope of the gospel so that others may come to enjoy a personal relationship with Christ.
Central Church invites you to come and see what the Family Life Center has to offer. We have an aerobics room and state of the art weight training facility. In addition to the aerobics and weight rooms, the FLC has a Kids Zone (inside playground), gymnasium, and an indoor walking/running track.
Our aerobics program is unique in that women support each other in a friendly, Christian, and non-competitive atmosphere. It is designed for ministry through exercise, fellowship, and prayer. Childcare is available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:15 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
Family Life Center memberships are now available and are required for the use of our facilities. Membership is open to church members and non-members. The Family Life Center Manual will cover all the policies regarding usage of the facility. Upon joining the FLC, you will receive a membership badge that must be worn during use of the facilities.

Mat Pilates: Mix up your mostly cardio workouts with Pilates! All of us need (and want) to strengthen our core (muscles that stabilize and support our spine). Core strength is an essential part of maintaining our posture, our balance, functional movement and a healthy pliable body. Pilates is a great way to develop long, lean muscles, and using your own body weight as strength training. You can improve core control, coordination, standing alignment and balance with Pilates mat exercises. Exercises are performed seated or while lying down on your back, side or front and is a great workout for all walks of life (varying degrees of difficulty are offered for nearly every exercise). Piliates is not just a core workout, it’s an entire body workout!
Cardio Stabiltiy Ball: A really fun workout using an exercies ball throughout the class. It is a mix of cardio, strength training (using free weights), and some great core work. Expect this class to burn calories, improve your balance, tone muscles, and work the hard to tone core throughout this FUN workout!
Tone & Strength: Strength and toning exercises have many health and fitness benefits. They burn fat and increase muscle mass, creating a slender new you. Your body becomes stronger, allowing you to preform tasks more easily than you could without exercise. We will be using a combination of hand weights, bands and your own body weight.
Intervals: Are you ready to shake up your workout routine? Do you wish you could burn more calories in less time? Interval training alternates bursts of intense activity with periods of lighter activity. The intense periods will focus on cardio movements uszing anything from a step bench to plyometrics to circuits, while the lighter intervals will incorporate muscle conditioning. During the class, the heart rate doesn’t have a chance to drop dramatically, so max calories and fate are burned while also toning muscles and working the core. All fitness levels are welcome to be a part of this challenge.
50+: Do you want to be stronger, more flexible, have better balance, increase your metabolism, be healthier, and have fun? The 50+.class combines fun and fitness through the use of weights (muscular strength), easy continuous movements (cardiovascular strength), stretching (flexibility), and balance. A chair is provided for support if needed and all exerciese can be modified to easy or more advanced levels. All levels of fitness are welcome.
