At Central, Religious Education occupies an important position among children and adults alike. The religious education committee guides the educational programs for every age and opportunity, including Church School, the Youth Groups, and the many Adult Education and learning opportunities. This committee works in creative collaboration with the Director of Religious Education and the ministers.

“The mission of Christian Education at Central Congregational Church is to create a nurturing environment where people of all ages may discover, in the lessons of God’s love, the courage to live and serve as disciples of Jesus Christ.”
