Dear Central Church,
What a joy it is to live in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! The angel who first announced this good news to the women at the tomb commissioned them to go and tell others. I hope you are finding tangible ways to share the difference the resurrection has made in your life. Why? Because this changes everything!
Imagine a young family in our community—busy, stretched thin, and searching for a safe, nurturing place for their child. Beneath the surface, they’re also longing for connection, support, and hope. We believe KidCentral Preschool can be a place where those needs are met—not only through excellent care and education, but through relationships that point families to Jesus.
One of the ways our church is seeking to share Jesus with our community is through KidCentral Preschool. Last month, I shared the vision the Lord has given our leaders to reach young families and connect them to Christ through our church. With the Lord’s help, we are moving forward.
If you’d like to learn more about KidCentral, you can watch the video from our info session and view the slides from the presentation.
KidCentral represents a significant step of faith for our congregation and a renewed commitment to seeing people come to Jesus. In many ways, we are launching a small business—but our bottom line isn’t profit… it’s people. It’s children who will be loved and cared for each day, and families who will be welcomed into a community where they can experience the hope of Christ.
Between now and our planned start date of August 17, we have several important improvements to complete in our downstairs preschool area, including the installation of a new playground and upgrades that will create a safe, inviting environment for children to learn and grow. We estimate the total start-up cost to be $250,000. By God’s provision, we already have $100,000 available, and we are prayerfully asking Him to provide the remaining $150,000 over the next year.
I’m asking you to prayerfully consider what role God may be inviting you to play in launching KidCentral. Your generosity will help create a space where children are nurtured, families are connected, and lives are shaped by the good news of Jesus
You can make a commitment by clicking here. Commitment cards will also be available during worship over the next three weeks. Our goal is to have all KidCentral campaign commitments turned in by April 26. This is an important season for us as a church, and your response now will help us move forward toward our August launch.
Thank you for your continued prayers and faithfulness. We are trusting the Lord to use KidCentral to “impact our community with the good news of Jesus Christ.”
With Resurrection Hope,
Pastor Mark
