Located in the city center of Durham, North Carolina, Christ Central Church has been living on a mission from its inception almost nine years ago. As part of the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) denominational family, they’ve got solid roots in the Gospel while also working to be seeker-friendly and relevant.

They’ve weathered some storms, seen God’s faithfulness, and can’t wait to see what God has planned for the future.
