OUR COMMITMENTS

Simply put, we’re a progressive faith community that sees the holiness in each person, works to understand and dismantle oppressive systems and serves our urban community. What does that mean? Read below.

LGBTQIA
Since 1983, Central has been a member of More Light Presbyterians, which centers and celebrates the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in the church and beyond

Peacemaking
We are committed to peacemaking through prayer, worship, Bible study, community ministries, and study and response to global issues. We also give money for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Peace and Global Witness Offering, which addresses conflict and injustice around the world.

Accessibility
We try our best to remove barriers of any kind – architectural, communication and attitudes – that exclude people from full and active participation.

Language
We use inclusive and expansive language to reflect God’s many characteristics.

Financial Support
We contribute to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s three churchwide offerings: One Great Hour of Sharing,  World Communion and Christmas Joy.

Kentucky Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice
Central is a member of Kentucky Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (KRCRC), a non-profit group that includes members of many religions and supports the rights of all people to access the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare choices without coercion or judgment.

Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
Central is a member of Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together (CLOUT), an organization of religious congregations working together to solve critical community problems. CLOUT is a grassroots, direct action, multi-issue organization, which has come together to be a powerful force for improving the quality of life in our communities.
