Building Together
the vision
VISION: Since Central began in 1900, our church family has gathered for worship and scattered on mission with a shared desire to follow Jesus together. And our heart has only grown bigger: to see an Edmonton region saturated with people who know Jesus, love Jesus, and are helping others follow Him.
PROBLEM: Our city is growing rapidly, and more than 90% of people don't regularly attend church. There are people all around us who need the hope of Jesus, and we want to reach them. But years ago, as our church began to grow, we faced a challenge. Our Connors Hill building was aging, we were running out of room, and we couldn't expand. We knew we needed to think differently about how to reach our city.
PLAN: Through prayer, creativity, and some unexpected open doors, God led us to become a growing family of congregations across our region. What began at Connors Hill has now multiplied to Southeast, Sherwood Park, and McDougall downtown. And there's so much more ahead.
Building Together is how we're investing in the spaces God has entrusted to us as tools for His Kingdom. Together, we're renewing facilities, reducing debt, and creating room for worship, discipleship, community, and outreach—so more people can meet Jesus and find a place to belong.
INVITATION: We've already seen what God can do through our generosity together. And as we look ahead, we're excited to keep making room for more people to know Jesus. We invite you to be part of it as we follow Jesus together.

Offering
Making Room for More People
God is at work across our church family, and we're grateful for all He's done. As we celebrate the launch of our fourth congregation at McDougall and look ahead to new opportunities across all our sites, we're inviting our church family to participate in our Fall Building Together Offering throughout November.
Join us in making room for more people to know Jesus.

BUILDING TOGETHER
the plan
Connors Hill
Our vision is to remain planted at Connors Hill, growing as a congregation and reaching our neighbourhood with the hope of Jesus.
Building Together has transformed much of our facility, creating renewed spaces for worship, discipleship, kids and youth ministry, and community outreach. We're now working to complete the remaining upgrades, strengthen this ministry hub for future generations, and prepare for the possibility of a future north lot expansion.
Southeast
Our vision is to see Southeast continue growing as a vibrant church community, reaching more people with the hope of Jesus.
Building Together has already helped us pay down a significant portion of our mortgage. Our goal is to eliminate the remaining debt, creating financial freedom for future generations and opening the door to expanded ministry space and new opportunities.
Sherwood Park
Our vision is to see Sherwood Park grow as a thriving congregation, reaching more people and serving families throughout our community.
Building Together has already helped us completely renew the main floor and kitchen. Now our priority is transforming the basement for kids ministry, midweek programs, and community outreach. Looking ahead, we envision an expanded auditorium, improved accessibility, and additional ministry space to support continued growth.
McDougall
Our vision is to establish a vibrant, growing congregation in the heart of downtown Edmonton, bringing the hope of Jesus to our city's core.
Building Together is helping restore the historic McDougall Auditorium, where weekly worship services have now begun. We're renewing the building for kids ministry, discipleship, community gatherings, and outreach, creating a welcoming place where people can meet Jesus and find community for generations to come.
