Centreville Presbyterian Church

We know the story... Jesus walks out of His own tomb, the grave clothes stripped away and says hello to His closest disciples - Everything changes, for them, for the world, forever. But why? Why does this happen? Join us this Easter Sunday as we go back to the beginning, to the moment when Jesus calls His first disciples and tells them why He has come... He has come to heal people. What does this...

When Peace Picks a Fight | Matthew 20:17-19 -21:1-11 | We celebrate Palm Sunday like a parade, but for Jerusalem, it was a provocation. Jesus didn't come to negotiate with the status quo; He came to overthrow it. This week, we’re looking at a King who doesn't just offer us comfort, but confronts the parts of our lives we’ve tried to keep for ourselves. It’s the kind of grace that demands a surrend...

Some Christians seem to see spiritual things, even demons or angels, behind every bush. Others don't seem to notice or even believe in these kinds of things at all. So, what's the answer? What are Christians meant to believe about these things and how should it shape our lives? Join us Sunday and we'll talk about it! | Acts 17:22-34 | March 22, 2026 | Pastor Aaron McMillan

We all get tired of small talk. We long for meaningful conversations. And for Christians we'd love to have easy rich conversations with our friends about Jesus, especially in a world where spiritual conversations aren't that common? Well, join us for worship this Sunday as Paul the Apostle shows us how to connect Jesus and faith with whomever God puts in front of us each day. | Acts 17:22-34 | Mar...

"Beyond Your Best" | Acts 16:25-34 | So often, what we believe God can do is limited by our abilities, our talents, our wealth and our wounds. What we see in God's word is his Holy Spirit taking ordinary women and men and making them so much more through his miraculous power. Come discover God's plan for every believer! Pastor Paul Lauerman | March 8, 2026

"Are You Called?" | Acts 16:6-15 | Do you have a mission in life, a driving purpose? This week in our study of the early church we find people from every walk of life suddenly changing course, changing their live plans on a moments notice. What happened and what does it have to show us about our lives today? | March 1, 2026

"The Downside of Diversity (and Why We Need It Anyway)" | Diversity is everywhere these days. (And) we couldn't be more divided about it. We eat different foods and love it. (But then) We see fewer people living the way we live, the way we were raised, and it seems like loss. How should Christian feel about this? And what does it look like when diversity comes to Church? Join us this Sunday as we...

"The Freedom Faith Brings" | Acts 13:1-12 | February 15, 2026 | From the very beginning of the Jesus movement the message of Jesus has been called good news -- as if just knowing about Jesus was sure to bring encouragement and hope. What is it about Him that has this power and why (despite this) do many people just not find the news of Jesus to be all that good? These are big questions. Join us Su...

"Sleeping Soundly While the World Rages" | Acts 12: 1-12; 20-23 | God's Kingdom Forever | February 8, 2026 One man sat on a throne and lived in a state of constant panic; the other lay in chains and slept like a child. How could a prisoner find rest while a king lived in terror? It all depends on where your heart dwells. Join us as we study Acts 12 and learn how to trade earthly anxiety for the pe...

"On Mission for Christ" | Psalm 102:18-22 It happens almost every day. We hear the call and take up the mission before us. Sometimes the mission is simple, "don't forget to pick up dinner!" Christians of course share a calling far bigger... to take up the mission of Jesus himself. -- With His help, to complete what He began. Join us Sunday as we celebrate the gift of being God's Church and the ama...

CPC Worship - Blizzard Edition! "Am I Really Supposed to Love Everybody at Church?" 1 Corinthians 12:13-26 | January 25, 2026 | Pastors Paul and Aaron Keep on those warm pajamas, pour up a hot chocolate and grab your Bibles as we worship, online only, from our homes across the city this Sunday morning. Keeping with the theme of the day our service will be casual and conversational. Paul and Aaron...

"The Satisfied Heart Gives" | Matthew 6:31-33 & 2 Corinthians 9:10-11| When was the last time you were truly generous? Perhaps the gift was spontaneous, perhaps it took real sacrifice on your part. Most likely though you remember the power of the moment. Christians, of course, are called to be generous over and over again. Why is this? Why is generosity so important to God and resonant in our...

"Mission Critical Discipleship" 1 Peter 1:1-9| Pastor Paul Lauerman | January 11, 2026 ------------------------------------------------------- In every NASA mission, military maneuver, or even a big camping trip, there are certain elements that are essential to success. You may have the best campfire stories, but if you forget your sleeping bag, you are going to have a bad time. When it comes to t...

"What It Means To Be The Church" | Whether you’re headed on a trip out to go camping or even under the battlefield, one thing is the same, there’s certain things that are essential to the job at hand. But what are the things that are essential to being God‘s church? What are the things that are essential to the mission of Jesus? Join us the next four weeks as we look at what means to Be God’s Chur...

"A New Thing" | Isaiah 43:16-21 | Christmas Day has come and gone, and the New Year approaches. As we reflect upon 2025 and look ahead to 2026, Isaiah 43 invites us to remember God's amazing faithfulness in the past. In addition, it invites us to look forward in hope for the "new thing" that God might do in and through us in the year ahead. | December 28, 2025 | Courtney Veredie

Matthew 2:13-23 | December 21, 2025 | After all the sweetness, charm, and warmth of the Christmas season, it can be hard to go back to normal life, can't it? Likewise in our passage, we find baby Jesus has been born into a pretty harsh and brutal world. Who is this young King who has come to bring hope into the reality of our lives?

"Seeking God/Finding God" | Matthew 2: 1-12 | Who hasn't looked up at the stars and wondered about God? Is He there? What is He like? In Church we sometimes talk as if seeking and finding God is always an easy process, but it doesn't always feel that way when you are the one searching.. Join us Sunday as we discuss what the Magi, can teach us about the search for God. | December 14, 2025 | Pastor...

"Keeping Promises" | Matthew 1:18-25 | When someone makes a promise to you how do you handle it? Do you instantly readjust your expectations in the certain knowledge that a promise has been given you? This week we see something unique, a promise from God to a man named Joseph and the significant strength that comes to people who take God at His word. | December 7, 2025

"The Perfectly Imperfect Family Of Jesus" | Matthew 1:1-17 | Advent reminds us that God keeps His promises—always has, always will. In Jesus’ genealogy, we don’t just see a list of names. We see a story woven through imperfect people, unlikely moments, and generations of faithfulness. This season, we celebrate the long-awaited arrival of our Savior, who stepped into real history to bring real hope...

"God's Spirit Has Now Invaded The World" | Acts 11:19-30 Jesus promised him. We need Him. The first Christians spoke of Him constantly. And yet He is sometimes called the Forgotten God. Who are we talking about? God's Spirit. The true power behind the growth of the early church. But can we know Him today? Should we expect things like we see in the book of Acts? Join us Sunday and we'll find the an...

"When God Blesses Your Enemies" | Acts 10:34-45 | We all live in a world at war with itself. Anger, frustration, bitterness, and hurt are everywhere we look. What do we do about it? How should we feel about those we disagree with or who upset us? This week in God's Word, we encounter the power of God's grace which can bridge even the largest cultural, racial, and ideological chasms. | November 16,...

"Sometimes The End Comes Before The Beginning" We are all living a story. Some of us like the story so far, other of us are still deciding. One of things Jesus taught is that everybody's life needs to end, before it can really begin. In this week's study of the book of Acts we see a man's life do just that. We see the end. Why it needed to end. And, of course, the beginning. A beginning that reall...

"When God Sends You..." | Acts 8:26-40 | Most of us have figured out by now that being kind to people feels really good, especially when the people in question are people we care about. But how good are we at being kind to people that we don't care about? And what do we do when it starts to feel like God is surrounding us with the kind of people we don't like? Join us Sunday as we look at how the...

"The Persecution of the Church" | Has there ever been a situation when you have been persecuted because of your faith in Jesus? Or perhaps you know a Christian who lives in another country and has suffered because he/she is a follower of Jesus. Persecution of Christians is something that occurs every day around the world. In one country alone on average a Christian is murdered every two hours for...

"How To Die Well" | Acts 6:5-18 | Have you ever felt like you have known a person even though you never actually met? The stories of their words and deeds are so often told and that they continue to shape how people live. For many Christians Stephen is this kind of man. His short life reminds us what it really looks like to become like Jesus. Join us Sunday as we get to know Stephen, the first Dea...
