Discipleship and Family Pastor

Centralia Christian Church is an independent, non-denominational, restoration movement church—and we’ve been right here in the urban community of Centralia, WA since 1870. Over 156 years, God has written a rich story through this church. And while we treasure where we’ve come from, we’re not bound by it. Our eyes are fixed forward, on making disciples of Jesus in real, relational settings—not programs, but people. At our core, we long to see healthy, restored relationships: with God and with one another. We pour into disciples, help them grow, and then release them—wherever God leads, whether that’s down the street or across the world.

Centralia is a small, welcoming city of about 16,000 tucked into southwest Washington—roughly halfway between Seattle and Portland, and just 90 miles from both the ocean and the mountains. It’s the kind of place where the pace is a little slower.

This is a community with a real spiritual need—a place where ministry makes a visible, lasting difference. The strong network of relationships that already exists here is fertile soil for building the kind of connections that span generations. If you’re someone who wants to pour your life into a community marked by both warmth and purpose, this is a place where the work truly matters.
