Central Christian Church DOC - Springfield, MO

🕊️ The Spirit doesn't wait for permission. Never has. 🔥

Pentecost Sunday is the birthday of the Church — the moment in Acts 2 when wind filled the house, tongues of fire rested on shoulders, and a ragged group of waiting people became something the world hadn't seen before. Two thousand years later, that same Spirit is still showing up in communities that make room for it.

Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is one of those communities.

Rev. Alyssa Spradlin is back in the pulpit with "By the Holy Spirit" — Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12 — and if you've heard her preach before, you're already clearing your calendar. Our music department is ready. The sanctuary in Midtown — over a century of Springfield history in those walls — will be full of people who actually mean it when they say everyone belongs here.

No fine print on the welcome. No row reserved for people who have it all together. Just an open table and a welcoming community that's been doing this long enough to know that's the whole point.

Wear red (if you’re able ;), bring a friend, and come ready.

🌎 The world feels divided. Jesus prayed for unity. 🙏

This Sunday at Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we gather for the Seventh Sunday of Easter — and the words of John 17 have never felt more timely. Hours before the cross, Jesus lifted his eyes to heaven and prayed. Not for himself. For his people. For unity. For the ones who would come after.

Guest minister Rev. Alyssa Spradlin returns to our pulpit this week to preach "Made Known" — a message about what it means to truly be known by God, and to know him in return.

Come as you are. You'll be greeted by a community that has been welcoming seekers and believers alike for generations, lifted by music that will move you, and surrounded by people who mean it when they say EVERYONE belongs here.
