WHAT WE DO
At Central Church of Christ we hold dear to the following core principles, they are foundational to how we teach and edify our congregation. The bible is the inerrant, infallible and inspired word of God. A Christian is someone who has heard and believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ, repented of their sins, confessed the desire to make Him the Lord of their life, and has been baptized in water, of their own volition.
We believe in the weekly partaking of the Lord's Supper as a body. We affirm the biblical mandate of marriage. We believe God values all life.
MINISTER LEVAUGHN LEWIS
Levaughn Lewis is a 33 year old evangelist from Granada whose faith was forged in a Christian home, nurtured by parents Peter and Beverly, and shared with three brothers, two of whom also preach. For over a decade, he has served fulltime with the Marian Church of Christ, not as a figurehead, but as a shepherd who believes the local congregation is where God's will comes alive.
His pursuit of theological grounding includes degrees from Sunset Bible Institute and Bare Valley Bible School, and he is currently advancing his studies at Hardin University driven by a conviction that growth is lifelong for those who handle God's Word.
At his side is his Trinidadian-born wife, Crystal, whose partnership enriches both his ministry and their home. Together, they are raising their daughter, Leveah, in the same legacy of faith that shaped him. For Levaughn, ministry is less about the platform and more about the everyday work of building God's kingdom, one life at a time.
Two passages of scripture guide his life:
1 Kings 3:7-9 and 1 Timothy 4:12.
