We meet at 10:30 on Sundays for Worship when we have a Creche and Childrens activities,
and at 1pm on Wednesdays for a half hour of informal worship, if you work or want
a break from shopping in the City Centre, you would be very welcome to join us! If
you’ve not been for a while it would be good to see you again!
Otherwise, call in
and enjoy a cup of Fairtrade coffee in the Olive Grove Coffee Shop, open each morning,
or sit quietly and enjoy the peace and quiet in the Church.
A City Centre Oasis amongst the hustle and bustle -
Whether you are visiting for the first time, or the first time for some time, you’ll receive a warm welcome at Central!
With an emphasis on caring for the people in the city centre, you’ll find us involved with the homeless, those in need and anyone lonely. Our church family come from all over Preston and we welcome everyone who comes to our front door!
You don’t need to know what ‘church’ is all about to come along, it would just be good to see you!
