We are a community of faith, and worship. One of our Central values is the commitment to take our love and devotion to God and put it into action—making a real difference in the lives of people in our community and around the world. We believe that Christ’s example of acting in love is the way to advance reconciliation and wholeness in the world. Doing justice, seeking peace, embracing equality and inclusivity, and building community are Central to our identity as members of the United Church of Christ.

Finding ways to provide immediate assistance and relief to those in need, as a church, we seek opportunities to move outside the walls of our building. Activities can involve tireless volunteer hours, sponsoring existing charitable organization, collecting and donating goods to those in need, or organizing congregational group mission trips. Our efforts have included support of local organizations, such as North Dallas Shared Ministries, The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, North Texas Food Bank, Family Gateway and others. In addition, we organize periodic mission trips, as well as the collection of resources in response to the emerging needs of our community. We partner with local schools, like J.J. Pershing, to provide needy students with school supplies, food, clothing items, and Holiday gifts.

As Central is a part of a wider network of UCC churches, at a national level, we are a part of the UCC’s “Our Church’s Wider Mission” which supports programs and disaster relief in the nation and the world.  For more information, go to https://www.ucc.org/ocwm.
