Welcome Sunday: Sunday, September 13th, during worship and after. Join us for the kick off to our programming year! Join us first for worship at 10:30am featuring our wonderful Centennial Band! Then after worship we will have a chance to learn about small groups starting the following week, getting your children & youth registered for the 2026-27 year, get snippets of information on Centennial Ministries, and to join us for a grill out/potluck! We will be providing the main meal but we are encouraging people to bring sides, drinks, and desserts to share. We will be gathering outdoors, weather permitting.

New Governance Structure: Our new governance structure has now been solidified and communicated with the congregation. You can find the details of the new structure in the Centennial News (emailed and printed). 

Join us for a Time of Prayer: Join the worship team as we gather for a time of prayer about 10 minutes before worship starts where we will pray for our worship team, our Centennial family, our community, and for anyone new who might walk through our doors for the first time.

Enjoy the Songs Our Band Performs?: You can listen to all the songs our band plays on our SAP Band playlist on Spotify! Access the playlist HERE.

3rd Sunday Celebrations! Led by Pastor Bitrus, during worship at both campuses on 3rd Sundays, we will be inviting congregation members forward who have celebrations  (birthdays, anniversaries, triumphs) to share and be prayed for.  We look forward to celebrating milestones with you!
