We are happy to offer:
Concerts with a Cause at Central Christian Church
Concerts with a Cause at Central presents prominent local musicians in free concerts at Central Christian Church. The series began in 2012 and partners with local charitable organizations, to bring awareness to the charities and to bring great music to our community.
Concerts are scheduled periodically throughout the year and are held in the sanctuary of Central Christian Church at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Donations are accepted at the events and divided equally to support the charities’ missions and to ensure future Concerts with a Cause at Central.
