    This church has a small group of elders which includes the lead pastor. They are held accountable by no one and will not allow a town hall when the members call for one. There has been a mass exodus of long time members in the last 18-24 months. Attending a newer church that has evolved from the poor leadership makes you a traitor. People have been removed as Bible study leaders, asked not to be members of the worship team or allow children of those who left Central to re-enroll at the preschool, Learning Planet for 2024-25. They lost all but 1 of the preschool teachers that taught there 2023-24. They were give a 5 page job description that reiterated that teachers will submit to the authority of the pastors and elder board. They listed duties for teachers outside their hours as requirements of the job. There is an anemic attempt at a men’s group. What once was a thriving church with full classrooms of children on Sundays, full tables of women on Tuesdays and a bustling Kids Small Group on Tuesdays. We had an amazing Youth Group and Young Adult groups. All the pastors and leaders we had starting in 2023 left by the end of 2023. It’s been heart breaking. My walk with Christ was strengthened there. I invited friends and strangers alike to events and Bible studies there. My marriage was made new there. They prayed for me as a struggled to conceive and rejoiced when we had our children. They attended Learning Planet, KSG, were dedicated and baptized there. I was a member 17 years. Unless and until the current pastors and elder board are removed and replaced with penitent, humble, God fearing, Christ following men filled with the Holy Spirit and that put on the full armor of God- DO NOT GO THERE. I do recommend other churches including Grace Chapel, Westside Christian Fellowship, Faith Community, Desert Community Church and South Valley-Antelope Valley.

    We love Central Christian Church! We have a great pastor who loves to share the word of God and has a passion to see us grow to live and love like Jesus. We have a great children's ministry team who love our kids like their own and a great church family who love the Lord. I am so thankful that we started coming here almost 12 years ago 💓💕

    Nice laid back atmosphere. Yet if you want to dress up it's cool too. It's big enough for two Sunday services. If you don't want to talk to anyone you don't have to but if you do they're ready willing and able to get the job done. I like that there is no pressure placed on the new comer. Lots of stuff to do to get involved if you want.

This is a healthy church, with a healthy environment! The Holy Spirit is moving and the people are thriving in this church and it’s family! I have experienced healing, support, answered prayer, and even in a big church like this the Pastors know who I am! They get involved with and engage with their members! The truly pour out the love of Jesus to all their members!

    Our church is by far my favorite place to be outside of our house. This is my family, a diverse group of faithful believers living together to worship through song and scripture based teaching. Central offers an amazing children's ministry, opportunities to serve and use your gifts, and a community who transforms families to live and love like Jesus.

    The message was good. But it was very impersonal. Electronic everything. Aside from the beginning hand shake, no one ever spoke to me.

  • Carol Hill (Heavenschild)2 years ago

    Beautiful church with sincere people, and Pastor Matt Dumas provides insights for today's Christians. Sunday school is provided for all ages, nursery as well. Children have their own building called 'The Kids Zone,' where their classes take place and their worship music is. Central Christian Church has three services: Saturday service is 5pm, Sunday morning 9am and 10:45am
