Welcome to Central Presbyterian Church!
We’re Glad You’re Here
We are an inclusive church that values diversity — in thoughts, perspectives and personalities. Central is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), though our congregation is comprised of many different denominational backgrounds to form a community centered in Jesus Christ.
Come to experience and be part of the vibrant, growing community of over 500 members located on the corner of 39th and Grand in Des Moines. Our church attracts members throughout Des Moines, from city and suburb alike. We invite you to come in, take a closer look and join us in our journey of faith here at Central.
