Together, let's build a community that radiates love, understanding, and encouragement for every individual, regardless of their past or present circumstances. We extend this invitation to both GenX and GenZ, recognizing the importance of intergenerational connections and the value that each generation brings to our shared journey of faith. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you and embark on this transformative path together. Let us grow in faith, uplift one another, and create a space where forgiveness and care flourish. As followers of Christ, our purpose is to create a welcoming and inclusive community that embraces everyone with love and acceptance. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus extends a heartfelt invitation to all: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." This scripture embodies the compassionate nature of Jesus, inviting all individuals, regardless of their struggles or challenges, to find solace and peace in His presence. In our church, we seek to provide a refuge for those seeking spiritual comfort, a place where burdens can be lifted, and hearts can find rest. We invite you to join us in this journey of finding rest, peace, and renewal in the company of fellow believers. Our community is committed to walking alongside one another, offering support, care, and a listening ear. Together, we can discover the abundant love and grace that Jesus offers to each and every one of us. This invitation is extended wholeheartedly to all people, recognizing the unique experiences and perspectives that each generation brings. We value the diversity of our congregation and the richness it brings to our collective faith. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you and embark on a path of spiritual growth and discovery together. Let us gather, worship, and build a community where you can find rest, healing, and belonging. https://ccctexas.org/our-team daily 0.75 2024-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/1646177053165-H7MTFWMK2G1GF1OGC6LK/piano.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/f088cbfe-e67d-42de-8a0e-8c8b95ba2e99/Marlo+Pic.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/97d91ae8-5335-4349-a8d6-33575f0cb3f6/Deanna+Pic.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/1bc8a4fd-7624-4efb-84cc-a44deac1f415/treasuer+pic.jpg Our Team https://ccctexas.org/ministries daily 0.75 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/bf1b1dba-3750-4d6f-b0f5-8c2c8fabce91/B024D23B-FD32-4E8F-8335-FEB54898228A.jpeg Ministry Matters - Outreach Ministry To encourage and equip the congregation to reach out to the community with the good news of Jesus Christ and invite them into Christ’s Family for care and nurturing.

Although they may not be able to fully express it, children have souls that are yearning for God and it is our goal to help them find and follow after Him as they grow. It is our desire that every child experience God-centered programs and activities at our church that will nurture them in developing their faith. https://ccctexas.org/home daily 1.0 2024-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/315cd981-6fe9-472b-b527-0cb5846c6995/sanct+entrance.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/8ef91030-d4e1-4e81-99b7-0d387bfc3c04/Altar.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/651d63c1-badb-4a32-8ecf-4fd8d3622b0a/Blue+Sign.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/8eb1fc27-39f7-4304-906a-783814ebde19/hello.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/4f6611df-5833-415f-ae18-3a8d8125bf82/ministry+matters+2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/c4ab428a-71e4-4cfb-94d0-a79ced4d114a/whats+up+grafitti.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/79b9f71b-7982-40d6-bcdc-4c661a9682de/giving+6.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/7b17d3cc-5e28-4132-bc4d-ad882976d371/Prayer+requests.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/f442315b-54c7-4cfe-bce7-78bff6609121/CSV+Square+Card.png Home https://ccctexas.org/location daily 0.75 2024-01-16 https://ccctexas.org/whatshappening daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/def72d23-660f-4acd-a2b8-ca1224890cb8/Wed+Bible+6pm+pic+.png What's Happening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/9546ffee-4066-4481-9455-48a65a1fe206/Fall+Fest+DOC+2024.jpg What's Happening https://ccctexas.org/planyourvisit daily 0.75 2024-04-23 https://ccctexas.org/give daily 0.75 2023-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/16e0d8e7-4693-484d-a27f-dfaee323d67e/GenerousGiving.jpg Give https://ccctexas.org/member daily 0.75 2022-09-15 https://ccctexas.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/0d306e48-841d-427f-9fc8-9d5a3082bb4c/CSV+original+2+logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/be8404a8-80ab-41d1-851b-e4ac02114ae5/Rectangle+17.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/5f51d141-ec8e-4161-ab75-f36a938ab9b4/Rectangle+16.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/fd2c36d1-39c7-4ca7-a6f4-783cd349c48b/Rectangle+18.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/bf7949b2-844c-43a6-ad16-1560b901020f/Final+CSV+KISD+Teardrop+Red++Circle+%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.png Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/3bf160b1-c690-4b9f-9ef1-b35cffe62ccc/Final+CSV+Teardrop+Green++%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.jpg Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/3d923eb4-1aa6-4a9e-a439-f69c09518074/CSV+Partners+Final+Yellow+Resized+Circle+%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.png Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/1692202908953-G975X82NM8LK9LYVZXR8/image-asset.jpeg Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/2f5f5d87-c5e3-412c-8cf8-79bb37e05ce4/Cropped+CSV+SSISD+Purple++Circle+%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.png Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/9a9a9bc2-36c5-409d-acc7-c4c693982d9e/friends+thru+vounteering.png Volunteer Bring Your Friends Along & Make New Ones!

Mr. and Mrs. A.H. Curtis and Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Kilpatrick were founding members of both churches. In May 1973 Oliver and Francis Kilpatrick went to visit Rev. Roy Brewton in Colorado, who had previously been the first full time minister of the First Christian Church. They had convinced him to return Killeen and be the minister of the newly established Central Christian Church of Killeen, Texas. They held their first services at Bellaire Elementary School with 27 adults on 1 July 1973 and continued to do so for one year. In 1974 three acres and a building were bought from Grace Lutheran Church which is now the fellowship hall and the first services were held on 30 June of that year. On 6 January 1975 the following Trustees were called Gene Goodnight-Chairman, Oliver Kilpatrick and A.H. Curtis as chairpersons of the congregation. As soon as they were in the new location, Rev. Brewton began plans for a major building program in March 1981. Due to major fundraising, pledges, and loans, enough money was raised to start construction. The loan was paid in full within 6 years due to the generosity of the members. In the first 5 days of construction, volunteers including both men and women, worked over 340 hours. Everyone found a task they could do to help build their home church. The Curtis family owned the local lumber yard and made sure to use the best quality and most beautiful wood inlays in the +50' high ceilings of the sanctuary. Stunning stained-glass windows were installed along with a beautiful hand-carved alter depicting the “Last Supper.” The church was dedicated to the Lord on 22 April 1984 and has blessed us with the beautiful sanctuary and building you see today. Francis Kilpatrick was the matriarch figure to all of our members, as she welcomed everyone on Sunday mornings with a warm hug before worship services every week, well into her 90s. Each member's love for Jesus surrounds the church and within its walls, but most importantly, we keep working at showing how God lives in us every day! Over the years Central Christian Church, Disciples of Christ has helped hundreds of people make commitments to Jesus Christ, get baptized, and grow in their faith and service for Him. https://ccctexas.org/our-vision daily 0.75 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/354c7383-1efb-40c1-8ed5-8b57d51361a2/cccChurch.jpg Our Vision Our Vision “Reaching one more for Jesus!” https://ccctexas.org/event-proposal daily 0.75 2023-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/adf835c9-65df-4a4c-a33f-cc49538cce30/CSV+Partners+Final+Yellow+Resized+Circle+%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/025cb5a8-0689-4460-9691-36df810a8193/CSV+Partners+Final+Yellow+Resized+Circle+%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.png Event Proposal https://ccctexas.org/testing daily 0.75 2023-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/fa72d552-ec78-4992-b1f3-43a2fc8ce39b/CSV+Partners+Final+Yellow+Resized+Circle+%28200+%C3%97+200+px%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Testing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Testing https://ccctexas.org/stronger-together daily 0.75 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/b5ecf679-73b6-4c91-b912-3f12870fc37a/Stronger+Together+thru+Encouragement.jpg https://ccctexas.org/prayer daily 0.75 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620fc66e5ce1cb523d8a372b/54112ecd-0820-4b26-bc85-f0b96a48a26b/praying+hands.jpg
