What Is Central Connect?
Central Connect is one of our ways to show the world the Love of Jesus. It consists of various projects/services that we participate in as a church to help our members or those in the community. We call these "Inward" and "Outward" ministries. We understand that our mission isn't to sit back and do nothing while people around us struggle in various seasons of their lives. We want to help. We want to be there to show the love of Jesus. We know that this is one of our primary purposes as Christians in this community.
Jesus said to us in Matthew 5.13-16, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father, who is in heaven.
We want to be the Light and the Salt of our community. We want others to see the light of Jesus in a world of darkness.
Our purpose behind Central Connect is two-fold. First, we want to help others to come to the knowledge of God's loving truth and give him the glory! Second, our purpose is that through these ministries or services, we can bring the hope and love of Jesus back into others' lives.
