Center Christian Church

Organized February 2, 1903

This congregation began as the result of a 5 week long revival held at the Center school house in rural Cherokee County, Kansas in 1903.

The church was founded on the principles of:
"Taking Christ as its only creed, and the Bible as its only book of authority."

 By 1985, Center Christian had adopted the motto: "Centered in Christ"

By 2004, Center made it's mission official: "Save the lost, disciple the saved"
