The SpireThe SpireThe SpireThe Spire SEPTEMBER 2016
Central Presbyterian Church is a welcoming community of faith that seeks to serve Jesus Christ through
sharing our collec�ve talents, by proclaiming the Gospel, feeding the hungry, healing the brokenhearted,
suppor�ng local and worldwide missions, and enjoying the journey with the Triune God.
This mission statement was developed as a result of the congrega�on’s commitment to Mission Redefini�on
as its focus for the future. Strategies for implemen�ng this redefini�on of the congrega�on’s mission are
being developed by the Visionary Commi ee. The first project established by this commi ee is the recently
announced commitment to change the purpose of the “Community House” to become a facility that will
serve as a crisis-stabiliza�on and temporary holding center for children who are newly admi ed to the foster
-care program of the Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS). This collabora�ve project is now in the
early stages of implementa�on. Opportuni�es for the congrega�on’s involvement in this mission will be nu-
merous, and will be announced very soon.
Our facility will be the first of its kind in our community. We hope it will serve as a model for some congre-
ga�ons to emulate and for others to par�cipate. While addi�onal ini�a�ves are being discussed and consid-
ered by the Visionary Commi ee, this one is a major step toward becoming a more Missional Congrega�on.
Since I will be moving to First Chris�an Church as their transi�onal pastor in November, I wanted to remind
you of all you have accomplished during the last year or so, and to challenge you to remain firmly focused on
Central’s mission in the future.
Grace and Peace,
Don Hubbard
