Community and Service
Church is more than music and a sermon on Sunday morning. Each of the steps below are designed to help you move from the crowd into real community. Community is where friendships are made and lives changed.
Shepherd Groups
Shepherd Groups are groups of men and women who meet every week to check-in on each other, dig deeper into God’s word, and support each other through life. While Connect Groups meet on Sunday, our Shepherd Groups are intentional about touching base throughout the week. Life is hard and you need a strong foundation of other men or women to help keep you standing. You can email men@centralchurch.com or women@centralchurch.com to find out more. Additionally, you can text “men” or “women” to 901-444-3890.
Connect Groups
Doing life together
Every Sunday, Connect Groups gather to celebrate life together. We work hard at taking a big church and making it smaller, where relationships and connection are the emphasis. If you desire to move from the crowd into a real community, Connect Groups are for you. We have groups for every life stage and age. Let us help you find the one that’s right for you!
Due to COVID-19, meeting locations and times may change. Please email info@centralchurch.com if you would like more information on joining one of these Connect Groups and for the latest information.

Serve
Sharing the love of Christ through service
Serving is central. Following Jesus is more than meeting our needs. It’s also about meeting the needs of others. Jesus came to serve; therefore, His love compels us to be spiritual contributors, not mere consumers. You can play an important role in making sure others are able to worship, learn, and grow in a healthy environment.
SERVE AT CENTRAL
You don’t have to travel overseas to show Christ’s love with others. Every week at Central is an opportunity to lead someone closer to God.

SERVE THE COMMUNITY
