Bible Blast & Children’s Choirs

Wednesday Nights | 6:00 - 7:00 PM

Join us on Wednesday Nights for Bible Blast!

Each week, we’ll find fun and creative ways to learn God’s Word through games, art, yoga, music, snacks, movement, and more!

Our theme for 2026-2027 year is a throwback to the 90's: What Would Jesus Do?

Throughout the year, we’ll talk about what it means to follow Jesus in our everyday lives, including how to pray, how to be a good friend, how to serve others, and how we can continue building a strong community together here at Central.

And of course, we can’t have a ’90s WWJD theme without WWJD bracelets! Each child will receive a bracelet to wear as a reminder throughout the week. Every Wednesday they remember to wear their bracelet to Bible Blast, they’ll help their group work toward a special Bible Blast party!

We’ll also work on outreach projects throughout the year and prepare for special events in the life of our church, including Children’s Sabbath and the Nativity Program.

Immigration Simulation

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

Our Wednesday night programming on September 30, 2026 will include an immigration simulation.

We will participate in real stories as immigrants navigating the complex and changing realities of America’s immigration system.

You’ll hear different stories and see how the current process (largely unchanged for 40 years) responds to present realities.

Getting beyond political caricatures, you will leave having learned about the time it takes to move through the system, the legal avenues for entry, and the current global realities of migration.
