    This is a warm, inviting staple to the city. We are lucky to have a place of worship in our town. I am new to this area and not accustom to the practices but have been having dreams that I am on stage at this church and everyone is praying to me. I keep having dreams that I am at this church but nobody can see me, I am floating about 6 or 7 feet above the ground and nobody can see me. They pray to me Jeff, Jeff, Jeff do you hear me. I do hear them, but they can't hear me back. This is my 4th time dreaming about this in two weeks. Other dreams were mostly about playing in the NFL.

    I LOVE CENTRAL SO MUCH!! This is such a wonderful church! I firmly believe that everything they stand for and preach is 100% biblical. The community is lovely and the worship is AMAZING! Central is such a welcoming place and they always make sure to make everyone feel loved. Even though it is a smaller campus compared to the others they are very connected and it still feels very connected to the other churches. The church is very obviously attentive to the people and needs of the people in the church. 10/10 I very much recommend.

    Great worship, biblical messages, and great groups to get involved in for me and my family. The size of this campus makes it easy to meet people and feel connected! Their kids and student ministries are also wonderful for my girls.

    Have history with Mesa campus for some years.And a beginning with my wife there. It's now been over thirty years together . We went to Tempe campus and found the message today to be a blessing and hope to return and bring our grand daughers soon .Thank you.

    Central has been our church home for 15+ years. It’s a great place to learn, grow and show up just as you are ❤️

    I moved with Central from the Mesa campus to Tempe. I appreciate the friendliness of everyone here. The small church feeling is great and allows for easily establishing community and getting involved. Central takes Jesus's teaching on loving God, loving people, justice, His heart for the nations, discipleship, community and owning/growing our relationship Jesus seriously. May you feel at home here!

    Went to the Grand Opening today and it was so good! I've attended various Central campuses for the past couple of years and this campus has that same Central Christian Church feel! The children's and students areas look amazing and if they are anything like Central's other campuses the programming will be amazing as well! Excited to see God work!

    Central Christian Church is such a wonderful place to visit. It's even better to be a part of the community. The people here are so friendly and welcoming. The worship is lively and engaging. The pastor here preaches from the Bible and he doesn't sugarcoat the truth. Also Steve, the campus pastor here, is a friendly and fantastic guy. You should really check it out!
