About
Founded by Pastor Terry Kirk, his wife Carol, and a small group of believers, Central Christian began on July 10, 1983. Shady Spring Elementary School was our home for the first five years but with steady growth the need came for a permanent facility. In June 1988 Central moved to Rossville Blvd.
Many years have passed but our focus remains the same, to share the good news of Jesus Christ to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. We have traveled the world through missions support and outreaches and touched many local communities through small groups. Our target today is a generation of young believers, not looking for church as usual but for something that will bring relevance to their very existence.
TERRY & CAROL KIRK (SENIOR PASTOR)
Two things have sustained Pastor Kirk through more than thirty years of ministry, his love for Jesus and his love for people. His desire to help people is a passion that has not faded with time – it has increased. Though the methods have changed, the message remains the same – Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever – and all are welcome to come as you are to find Jesus, the hope of past, present, and future generations.
Terry has been the Senior Pastor of Central since it’s beginning in 1983 and is an Ordained Minister with the Assemblies of God. He and Carol reside in White Marsh and have two children, Larry and Carrie, daughter-in-law Pearl, and three grandchildren, Garrett, Gabriella, and Brycen.
LARRY & PEARL KIRK (CO-PASTOR)
Larry’s heart is to reach a generation seeking more than empty religion, more than tradition. He desires to make Central a place his peers want to attend. As a voice for future generations, Larry believes we must meet the needs of families if we are to impact this generation with the message of Jesus.
Larry & Pearl are the parents of two boys, Garrett and Brycen and make their home in Bel Air.
Leading people to discover and fufill their purpose in Christ.
