WHO WE ARE
WHERE LOVE AND JUSTICE MEET
Central Congregational Church has roots deep in the Topeka community. From its beginnings, this church has been about working to fulfill the needs of our neighbors. We are an Open & Affirming, Inclusive, Progressive church in the heart of our city.
The Rev. Gage Church
is a former newspaper
journalist. He answered a
long and lingering call
to ministry. He preaches from
a viewpoint of
progressive Christianity.
Our first pastor was the Rev. Charles Sheldon, a pioneer in the social gospel movement and author of the international bestseller "In His Steps." Rev. Sheldon gave birth to the profound question "What Would Jesus Do?"
Our church owes its vibrancy
to the many members of the congregation who are committed
to fulfilling its mission by serving
on our committees. Through
them, we also serve
the greater community.
