vision & values

We put our faith into action by nurturing spiritual growth and reflecting the call of God to serve our neighbor.

We transform our communities by promoting social justice and engaging others in ministries that drive change.

We invite everyone to the table, sharing fellowship, worship, meals, music and works as one body.

WE BELIEVE FOLLOWING JESUS CHANGES
OUR CITY AND OUR WORLD.

Jesus spoke and lived a life of peace and justice.
We think we should too.

WE VALUE BEING THOUGHTFUL STUDENTS OF THE BIBLE.

The world is full of people who have easy conclusions.
We’re looking for deep answers.

WE AFFIRM ALL PEOPLE AS GOD’S BELOVED CHILDREN.

We’re on a journey seeking God’s love and purpose.
Everybody’s welcome to come alongside (with no astericks)!

WE TAKE FAITH SERIOUSLY AT ALL STAGES OF LIFE.

We have intentional space for all ages to engage the big questions.
(Don’t worry – we also know how to have fun!)

WE HAVE DEEP ROOTS AND A CREATIVE SPIRIT.

We honor the deep traditions on which we stand, while also
seeing that the Holy Spirit is always leading us to new places.

We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA), in the Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area. Central is committed to full inclusion of all.

Our History

The history of Central Presbyterian Church begins in 1851 with the arrival of Rev. John Riheldaffer to a two-year-old territory that would one day become the State of Minnesota.   Despite being robbed en route to the City of Saint Paul and the cold of a Minnesota winter, the Riheldaffers stayed to found Central Presbyterian Church in February 1852 with seven members.
