Formation at Christ Central
Following Jesus along the path of life is not always easy, but we find abundant life by trusting in His truth and walking in His ways. We believe this happens through Community Formation. By this, we mean that how we express ourselves in the world should be the result of a deeply rooted inner life with Jesus Christ. We believe that through the rhythms of our different avenues of Community Formation we can also accomplish one of our church values of Embracing One Another–that our community might be cross-cultural–so that we can celebrate our similarities and embrace our differences as complementary aspects of the same God.
We also have provided eight Spiritual Practices that can empower individuals to embark on a journey of Personal Formation.
City Groups
City Groups offer a community where co-ed groups of 10-15 people gather to grow in grace, community, and mission. City Groups meet on different nights of the week throughout the city of Durham. In these groups, men and women commit to doing life together, praying with and for one another, studying God’s word together, and loving their neighbors.
Sign-ups for City Groups are currently closed.
Bible Study

Bible Study
This fall, we launched a yearlong study in the Letters of John that both our men and women participated in separately. Our study, Walking in the Truth: Bible Foundations and John’s Letters, will lay a foundation for understanding the story of Scripture and explore the message John shared in his letters.
What do we know to be true about Jesus Christ, and how is that truth evident in our lives? In a time when truth is questioned and uncertainty abounds, believers find assurance in the pages of Scripture. This fall and winter we want to help you know your Bible and know that you are walking in truth.
Our study will resume the week of January 22nd and end the week of March 4th!

We will explore the Christian faith's basic foundations, the church's structure, and how members can get involved in the mission of Christ Central.
