About Central
We are a non-denominational church with Christ as the head and the Holy Spirit as our guide.
We determine our own specific policies, voluntarily cooperating with other Christians in fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission to make disciples of all people (Matthew 28:19).
We appoint Pastors, Elders, Deacons, Ministry Leaders, and others to help us serve others and grow in faith.
What
to expect
Imperfect people in progress
Our hope is that you will experience a community on a journey with God who meets you where you’re at.
We are broken people who are seeking to be transformed by the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We are not perfect and we don't pretend to be. We value authenticity and genuine relationships.

Make your initial stop at our "Welcome Tent" tent located outside, where a warm welcome awaits you.
Our friendly hosts are ready to offer assistance, answer any questions you may have upon arrival, guide you through the surroundings, and facilitate the check-in process for your kids if required.
Grab a coffee
You definitely want to swing by the coffee shop before heading into service to grab a regular drip coffee or any of our options at the espresso bar.

Our mission
At Central Christian Church we do our best to help you grow spiritually as a disciple of Christ. We see a disciple as one following Jesus, one who is being changed by Jesus, and one who is committed to the mission of Jesus.
Relational environments jump start and sustain this discipleship process. We believe those relational environments are best set up through small groups. Through these groups and time encountering the love of Jesus, serving will be a natural response. Serving shapes who we are and gives us purpose and vision for our lives.
Beliefs
-
God is the Sovereign Creator of the universe who cares personally for man as the Heavenly Father. We believe there is only one living and true God who reveals Himself to us in three distinct personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, who died for our sins and rose from the grave as well as the virgin-born Son of man. Jesus was the first man, since Adam, to be born without sin and He died on a cross for our redemption. We believe Jesus was risen, bodily, from death and ascended to heaven to intercede on our behalf.
-
The Holy Spirit dwells within each Christian as a comforter, counselor, and encourager. He gives gifts for abundant living and assurance for eternal life and carries out the will of God in the world of men. The Holy Spirit lives in believers and gives them the power to accomplish God's work. The Holy Spirit also works in the hearts of those seeking God, leading them to a new and lasting life in Jesus Christ.
-
The Bible is God's inspired Word and is the divine authority by which Christians are called to live. We believe that both the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and error-free in the original text.
-
All people are created by God, but because of personal sin, need to be made whole and restored to fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.
-
All persons of all races and ethnic background are created in the image of God and need the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
-
Any person can connect with Jesus and become a Christian by trusting in Jesus, repenting of sin, confessing that Jesus is Savior and Lord, and being baptized into Jesus. We practice baptism as taught and demonstrated in the Scriptures and encourage every person to be immersed into Christ’s own death, burial and resurrection.
-
The Church is the body of Christ composed of all born-again believers around the world. It is identified locally as a congregation of believers where individual lives are transformed and community is built.
-
We share in the communion of the Lord’s Supper each week, as was the custom of the early church.

Our Pastor
Tim Perkins - Lead Pastor
Tim & Tiffany Perkins moved their family to San Jose in January 2019 to champion all God has planned for this great church. Having served in a variety of ministry roles in flourishing churches for years, the Perkins family bring seasoned passion to CCC. Tim & Tiffany’s heart aligns with the purpose of CCC throughout the years of helping people find and follow Jesus! We continue to be blown away by all God is currently doing at CCC.
Tim and Tiffany have 3 beautiful children - Cannon, Drake & Elsie. Some of their favorite times are beach days as a family and football in the yard.
We’re honored you are considering calling CCC your home! We truly believe we’re better together. The best days are yet to come for you personally and the Central Christian Church collectively!
