We are a part of the Missionary Church

The Central District is a subsidiary of the Missionary Church, Inc., therefore, we are responsible for the promotion of the work and objectives of the Missionary Church within our geographic boundaries.

We share the denomination's commitment to, "being holy people of God in the world and to building His Church by worldwide evangelism, discipleship and
multiplication of growing churches to the glory of God."

Because of our relationship and shared commitments, the Central District is governed in all matters pertaining to doctrine, polity, and practice by the Constitution and Bylaws of the Missionary Church.
