Help Reach Central
Florida and Beyond!
IMAGINE UPDATE
We’re nearing the finish line! It has been an exciting season of remodeling as we’ve worked to reimagine our facility for future ministry and impact. This project has been more than construction — it has been a step of faith, preparation, and obedience. We truly believe the Lord is using it to do more than we could ever ask or imagine!
Let's cross the finish line together!
What is the Imagine Initiative?
For 85 years, God has been faithful to use Central Church to make an impact in our community and around the world. As we look to the future, one of the best ways we can honor that legacy is by IMAGINING what God will do in and through us next.
IMAGINE is a generosity initiative inviting our church family to invest in a future of meaningful ministry — building a welcoming front porch for our neighbors, creating spaces that bring people together, and helping others take steps toward a deeper walk with Jesus. This initiative will also support our two-year ministry and missions plan, positioning us to reach hearts both inside and outside our walls.
Together, we’re asking God how He would have each of us participate through sacrificial giving, believing He will do more than we could ever ask or IMAGINE.
What is the goal?
Our goal is 100% participation. All of us together.
We want every person who calls Central Church their church home to be a part of this IMAGINE Initiative. One of the strengths of our church is how we stand together, each doing their part, to accomplish whatever God sets in front of us. Together we will each consider the sacrificial commitments God would have us make as He uses us to bring to reality a vision beyond what we could ask or IMAGINE!
This is about honoring those who have come before and preparing for the next generation.
This isn’t about a building, it’s about the mission and it's about taking a step in our own personal journey with Jesus.
Our Church has voted to approve a loan of $2.5 million with the Florida Baptist Financial Services to complete our facility renovation project.
The loan amount is the difference between the cash we have on hand, and the total cost of the renovation.
Florida Baptist Financial Services is a ministry of the Florida Baptist Convention. They lend exclusively to churches, and the interest paid on their loans helps finance church-building projects and other Great Commission work. Central has a history of partnering with them, and even the interest paid will allow us to invest in our mission of Multiplying Disciples, Leaders, and Churches.
The loan will have a non-revolving construction phase of 24 months, during which we will be making interest-only payments and have the opportunity to pay down our principle. The permanent loan will be for up to $1.75 million at a 7.25% interest rate on a 30 year amortization schedule.
