| If
you're this far into exploring Central Presbyterian Church in
Geneseo, New York, you've come farther than driving by and admiring
the Memorial Gardens, or, perhaps, wondering if our entrance
looks a bit formal (by the way, we have a lift), or, perhaps,
glancing at the Wayside Pulpit (the sign that lists the next
Sunday's sermon and time for worship at the corner) and wondering
"What on earth will that be about?!" |
 |
| So
welcome to Central's web site! |
| It, like Central, takes a bit of exploration. There's plenty
to discover, but the real Spirit of the place mostly comes from
the experience of it. |
 |
 |
Like most churches, we proclaim the loving presence
of God in the world. |
|
Like most churches, we offer 'tried and true' pathways
for nurturing a relationship with your best Self, with
others in the world and with the Divine. |
|
Like most churches, we try to put our best foot forward,
knowing that our denomination doesn't have all the answers,
doesn't have the corner on Truth and doesn't have it all
together, but |
|
Like most churches, we're doing our best to live lives
of faithful witness in community, in a faith tradition
that, for us, offers us a chance to grow spiritually
and act upon Christ's call to be loving, reconciling disciples
of wholeness and peace and justice, as exemplified by
the life of Jesus. |
|
 |
| What makes us different? Nothing and everything. |
| You'll find Christ's love in many places, hopefully some of
them in churches! |
| We don't claim to be the best in any way. |
| All we hope is that, if you decide to share worship and Christian
life with us, |
|
that you will find a warm welcome in the Spirit of Jesus'
welcome, |
|
that you will find a community eager to share itself
and eager to be about ministries of peace and compassion
and justice in the world and |
|
that you will feel safe to explore your own path here
in a non-judging environment. |
|
| In this place and at this time, we offer ourselves as a loving
and learning discipleship community of Jesus Christ. We're each
different from each other and from you and each of us is a child
of God. |
| Feel free to call us, come and visit (no pressure, just welcome)
or write us. In the meantime, may the peace of the Lord be with
you. |
