You are here on purpose, for a purpose.
Center City Church was founded on this belief that you were created on purpose, for a purpose. You are not an accident. Jesus has handpicked you to be with Him!
We believe you were fearfully and wonderfully made in the very image of the Almighty! We welcome you to come to visit Center City Church during our Sunday service and to feel the presence of God!
Our Church continues to grow on these four pillars:
- We will be grounded in the truth of the word.
- We will cultivate healthy marriages and families.
- We will maintain a wealth and prosperity perspective.
- We will serve the city and the city-wide Church.
Our Families:
We believe in encouraging families to build their lives on the foundation of Christ. This means we work hard to provide engaging opportunities for all members of our church community, including City Kids. Parents who wish to take advantage of City Kids are asked to drop their children off 1/2 hour before service. Please leave enough time to properly check in your kids before events or service begins.

What can I expect at Center City Church?
You should expect to be greeted by the church family. Most of our greeters and team members have real-life stories to share with regards to their faith journey. They are everyday people who want to share and welcome you into our church home.
We start with praise and worship, which leads to giving, announcements, and then our message. Service is focused around a theme or particular scripture and is biblically-based. We close with continued worship and ministry time.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before services start. Being early gives you an opportunity for fellowship and to truly experience our church family.
Is there something for my kids?
Kids will be encouraged to participate in our kids’ programs during service. We provide a warm and loving teaching experience for your kids so that you can focus on the service. We are security-focused, and we use state of the art processes and procedures to ensure the safety of your children while they are away from you.
How long do services last?
Service lasts typically 1.5 hours, but many of our church family stay for prayers and additional ministry or to participate in baptisms after service.
Can you explain worship time?
Our praise and worship is a time of joy. Our worship leaders work to create an environment that allows all to participate. We believe this is how we come into His presence (Psalm 100:4), that God inhabits the praise of His people (Psalm 22:3) and that it is pleasing to God (Psalm 69:30,31)
A Message from Pastor Jim and Jess Kilmartin
We started this journey to see lives changed by the transforming power of Christ’s Love, received not by altering who we are, but receiving Him as we are.
We love you and cannot wait to connect with you!
