About Us

The mission of Central Christian Church is to serve its community in the spirit of Christ; Nurture a relationship between God, self and others; Glorify God in Worship. Visitors quickly discover the church embodies “welcome” in all it does. The kindness and hospitable nature of the congregation abounds. It genuinely cares about the entire Waterloo community and wants to see everyone thrive spiritually and socially.

The Disciples of Christ made several attempts to start a congregation in Waterloo before the Ladies Aid Society eventually started the church. After being founded in 1897, the congregation moved its house of worship to a few different Waterloo locations before the current church at 3475 Kimball Avenue was dedicated in 1964.

Worship services are held each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. In addition to partaking in song, prayer, and the day’s sermon, expect to have the opportunity to ask about and explore faith in Jesus without pressure or judgment. Central Christian also offers children's programming in a safe and fun environment filled with playtime, crafts, and age-appropriate teachings.

Whether you are visiting or considering joining our Central Christian family, we ask that you give us a chance to get to know each other. Accept our hand of friendship. We'd not only love to hear your story, but we look forward to sharing more about our many fellowship groups and successful outreach programs. Let’s grow in our Christian faith together.
