Amplifying Hope + Life in Holland + Beyond
HOLLAND
CENTRAL REALLY LOVES HOLLAND
We feel a strong call to help the vulnerable in our city, especially the kids and families who need it most. Our work here is our way of bringing the gospel to life in our own neighborhood. Each of us is taking the mission and teachings God has given us and are putting them into action together. Join us as we bring hope to Holland.
“We are blessed in West Michigan with a non-profit network that meets real, tangible needs all around us. We don't need to invent new ministries all the time; instead we can express our love for the community by partnering with the organizations already doing great work.”
- Pastor Mike McKay
GLOBAL
But you will receive the power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and In All Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8
ETHIOPIA
CHILDREN’S HOPE CHEST
Imagine transforming a child’s life and uplifting an entire community in Shone, Ethiopia. By becoming a Hope Chest Friend, you empower a child to choose you as their sponsor, fostering a meaningful relationship that provides physical, emotional, and spiritual support.
Your sponsorship doesn’t just impact one child; it contributes to the holistic development of the entire community. Join us in making a lasting difference. Empower a child at Shone Yehiwot Berhan CarePoint and be part of a transformative journey that brings hope and sustainable change to a community in need.
SHORT TERM MISSION TRIPS
Central provides opportunities to join a short term trip in the United States and around the world throughout the year!
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
MISSIONARIES
Central supports missionaries domestically and all over the world. Some of these missionaries serve in places that make it unsafe for us to publish their work.

Jeff and
Diane Gilbert
“Jeff and Diane moved into missions after long careers in their respective fields. Jeff has been a bi-vocational pastor, serving in children’s ministries and coaching for many years, including 20 years in camp ministry. Diane has been a nurse in various areas for almost 30 years. They raised eight children, and now are called to serve the world. Their life experiences have developed a deep appreciation of the Hispanic culture, and their love of Jesus has led them to Nicaragua, a country with deep physical and spiritual needs. They are working to serve the underdeveloped areas by leading medical teams, and also working with local churches to grow vibrant local ministries to children and families across the country.”
