CHRISTIANS HAVE GATHERED HERE SINCE 1888
In 1888, 22 Christians decided to meet at what is now 304 East Central Avenue in Valdosta. Christians have continued to meet here ever since.
Founded on the principles of the first century Church as described in the New Testament, Central's leadership remains dedicated to our mission as Christians to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout our community and the world. We gather, or congregate, to not only worship God through prayer, Bible study, giving to the Church as we have prospered, and the singing of songs from the heart, but to also encourage each other and share each other's burdens.
​
Though history teaches us many things, and while roots like those planted at Central are reassuring, we always look to the day when we will spend eternity with God in Heaven. We've been here a long time, but our future has never looked brighter!
