Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission:
- To lead people to discover and fully own their faith in Jesus.
Vision:
- Helping people take next steps in their relationship with Jesus and experience life-changing faith.
Values:
- Jesus First: Everything begins and ends with Jesus. Scripture shapes our theology, leadership, and lives.

Staff Culture
- The Gilbert Campus staff describes itself as relational, collaborative, and deeply invested in one another’s lives. Many team members have served at Central for decades. There is history here. There is loyalty here. There is also weariness due to recent transitions and current vacancies.
Life on staff looks like:

- High visibility on weekends, followed by intentional pastoral and leadership work during the week.
