First of all you do not go to church for the parking lot you go for the message. Parking lot is busy but if its busy you know its good but there is always parking sometimes there may be more steps involved. The greeters at the door are always kind and smiling welcoming you in no matter what you wear or what you look like. The church is kept clean and ac running plus if you forgot to get your coffee or smoothie or even a snack they have a shop inside to help get you fixed. There is childcare all free and a system with tags never had an issue with the childcare helpers there and for all ages too. They will text you if there is any issue with your child. The worship is always popping and full of good vibes some of us have our hands in the air others sway while others cry its ok its all welcomed. Here's the best part the message it hits the spot almost everytime I feel like you leave with that refreshed feeling that after a hot day in the sun you pop open that cool soda can feel but sometimes better. You can feel the love of God in the air and most importantly comfortable no matter what baggage you bring no one judges they just accept. I have been going here for several years and we love Judd and all the celebrity guests that come from time to time. Its helped us manuever through some of lifes hardships. Its worth trying out! It is a place where its ok to not be ok. read more

This review is for the Christmas Eve Service only. Was visiting the area for Christmas and was looking for a Christmas Eve Service, as I typically do. This one came up re intended again and again and it was absolutely fabulous! Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, Santa, the Grinch, Snow falling, a real camel, donkeys, sheep etc, acrobats, a band, beautiful singers, super cute kids, and a big friendly crown excited to celebrate the true reason for the season. The pastor was fantastic and fun to listen to, while referencing the bible, telling the real Christmas story etc 10/10 and absolutely recommend service to anyone! read more

Been coming to this church for years but we finally did the 4 week First Step classes and had a great time and learned a lot. Christina was our host at our table and was such a wonderful soul. Excited to start getting more involved with the church. A place where it's ok to not be ok. read more

I am a former volunteer at Central Church in Henderson, NV, and I was baptized at this church. I am writing this as someone who once trusted this ministry and personally witnessed and experienced deeply concerning behavior from staff behind the scenes. In my experience, there has been a long history of troubling staff turnover, concerning internal culture, and firsthand accounts from people directly connected to the church. I also understand why many former staff, volunteers, or members may feel afraid to speak publicly, especially when future job opportunities, reputations, relationships, or confidentiality agreements may be involved. What concerns me most is the lack of transparency: the quiet departures, the unanswered questions, the appearance of criticism disappearing online, and the disconnect between the public image of the church and what some people have experienced behind closed doors. People who give their time, trust, and tithes deserve honesty about leadership, culture, and how resources are being used. I hope more former employees, staff, volunteers, and members who have experienced or witnessed concerning behavior feel safe enough to come forward. read more

LOVE CENTRAL! Central is home away from home and even on the weekends when we can't make it in person Central has an online presence! Watching online has helped so much during times where health wasn't always best to be there in the building in person. Been apart of Central since 2001. Have raised my family in this church, grown and evolved in this church, served tirelessly in this church, but ultimately have felt the presence of Jesus encountered in and through out this church! From children's ministries, small groups, women's groups, celebrate recovery groups, grief groups, Ignite camps my kids grew up attending and raving about ---every kind of fellowship group... it's here at Central and not only that but also an opportunity to expand your faith and connect into a deeper calling with God. Such as through the Central College of Ministry offerings, ministry leadership or volunteer opportunities! I never thought I'd have an opportunity like this. As I've gotten older and started discovering my gifts I started..I look back reflecting and I'm so grateful I have been tapped into a church that has connected me to so much more than I ever imagined. Central has been family--in good times and bad times I have never lost my faith in this church or God. There are amazing people always here working hard; Food pantries, care teams, prayer warriors, incredible Central Live worship, state of the art production and programming, a safe space protected by our city's authorities and a strong staff that's been around for years! If you need a solid community you can feel ok being yourself around then check out Central! There's something here for everyone. read more

We love this church and all the pastors. Pastor Jud is awesome. Pastor Nick is really good too. Worship is awesome.

I agree with the review on Oct 12th posted. Central Church was promoting a book and the author discussed miracles that his book is about - no scripture. The discussion included struggles and hardship that people have had and there was no mention of scripture! I could write my own book and have had my own struggles and hardship and my faith is what has kept me going. I ended up leaving feeling disappointed because I did not want to hear about a book promotion. At least the praise worship was good! read more

Second time there my first time wasn't so great kind of disappointed decided to give it another try. Today they were promoting a book instead of sharing the scripture. I don't know what to think but this mega a church is not for me. I get the creeps from it read more

Everything! Central church is a family! Even though it's a mega church they make everyone feel welcome! That's how I met my beautiful wifey! Biggest blessing ever! Thank you Skyler Peck! read more

This is the most wonderful experience of any church I have been to. I have been to over 20 different churches and this is the only one that feels like home read more

My first time at Central Church's Food Pantry will be my last. I went to their food pantry today and waited for over an hour to get told by one of the staff members that my house-hold income is "too much" and "they can't help me, it's the rules". There is no mention of income requirements on their website or in person when you get there. It is misleading to advertise as a pantry that is for everybody and anybody who needs assistance. They will flat out deny you without knowing your full income circumstances. For example, me and my partner have been struggling to make ends meet on a monthly basis due to a recent tragedy that happened and now we have racked up medical bills and as a last resort, looked to Central Church for assistance. I showed up with only $10 to my name and in dire need of food to get through this week until my next paycheck. This church has all of the money and resources to give back to the community they claim to love. I have but one question for you Central, would Jesus Christ like for you to deny food services to hungry/struggling individuals in need?? read more

I am writing a 2nd review after attending Central for over a year. The church is Huge so it is hard to make friends. They don't have an Adult Singles Group. I believe some of their 'Leaders' need training on Leading especially when they have older Volunteers. While the church does help the community, it's hard to find help when you need something, specifically (except food). Twice, I asked for specific help (not money) and both times, I was pretty much blown off. read more

Your Aliante location does not have a yelp account. My kid went there for their youth program but was disappointed. The Aliante youth is very "cliquish." Not everyone is included in their events. There's definitely favoritism. Your kid can suggest something, the other kids tell your kid it's a great idea and do it amongst the same kids from the "clique." It's very mean girl/boy type of behavior. Definitely was not expecting this type of behavior from a church. Kid feels defeated and not wanting to be a part of it anymore but absolutely loves going to church. It's also not an isolated situation with just my child. read more

I haven't gone to their church but I have contacted their prayer line and my experience with that has been rather mixed. When I first called them to pray for my relationship (with my darling), I talked to a nice lady by the name of "Michelle" and I came away from that call/text feeling pretty hopeful. However, when I texted again, I got someone with the name of "Janyth" who means well but is very pushy. See, my relationship with Christ is a very personal one and I texted again about my relationship with my darling. I came away from the text with Janyth feeling more dejected. I don't think I'll contact them again. read more

Central Church - Henderson - My recent text exchange. - Churches Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Two months ago, I shared my negative experience with this church on Yelp. I gave Central only two stars. Today, I am changing that to four stars, because, after some serious reflection, I realized my experience was probably a byproduct of this congregation being so large. What I think is great about this church is that they operate in grace and they work hard to bring people to a loving relationship with Jesus Christ. To me, that is the greatest gift anyone could offer. Thank you, Central. read more

Their drive through food pantry is poorly thought out. When you're getting there early in the morning and it's still dark outside and the parking lot barely has any lighting how are you supposed to find the entrance to line up?? They have most of the entrances blocked off and no signs to direct you and no volunteer directing you where to go. You would think these people would have the common sense to put signs or have volunteers directing you where you. read more

The pastor is great! But the church is way too big for us. We prefer a smaller intimate church. read more

Love this church, moved across town a long time ago but decided last Sunday to go to Central Henderson, could not have made a better decision. In this time of confusion, I was glad to see Pastor Jud face it head on. The series is Revelation which could not have come at a better time. Also, they have the best coffee shop in town. I'm in! read more

first Central Church has been my home since being here in Vegas via Los Angeles and love the sermons from Pastor Jud and Nick, so I'd overall give a 5 star to Central itself. The one star is for the 24-hr. prayer/care line the people behind that phone let me down in my darkest hour I'm going through a really tough time in my life. After receiving some powerful prayers, they decided either block my number or simply ignore me being very hypocritical I needed help when feeling like I was being attacked by the devil. So, I had to rely on none other than the Father himself to give me the strength I needed to get through, and my wife helped with keeping me together. I trust in GODS plan for me through my tough time he's bigger than my fears and stronger than my obstacles I face I have to keep my faith. I hope all those who decided to ignore me or block my number don't never be in a dark time and need help one thing I know is GOD doesn't like ugly and being simply ignored hurt my feeling so the 24-hr prayer/care line really let me DOWN in a time of need by doing so I never imagined being let down by a prayer line especially from my Central family. I'll definitely continue my spiritual journey through the church service its great no belief in the careline anymore read more

Nice church.. it's super huge ... we went there for Life Surge event and they got two stories seating... might have to come check out for Sunday service. They also have a cafe area for coffee and pastries. read more

Best Church EVER! Where it's Definitely okay to not be Okay! I especially enjoy CR aka: Celebrate Recovery!

I love it Here the people here are very hopeful and got me back into becoming a believer again when i was struggling

Solid worship and teaching. Come as you are. The only thing you leave at the door is fear of judgement! The Love of Christ is definitely shown! read more

Unfortunately this church really does have a problem with untrained service dogs. I used to come here regularly but have been barked and growled at because of my personal SD and it makes it an uncomfortable space.. I have made complaints I feel this church really needs to crack down on the dogs they let in. read more

This place is a life saver! Their motto is, It's ok to not be ok. Come as you are. No judgements. I call this church my 2nd home. I love my church family. The pastors are fantastic! They have so many programs for adults and children. I can't say enough great things about Central! read more

Great church, really enjoyed the music & the sermons, large church and it gets packed I would recommend if you are in the area check it out

I would love there if I could... Good is in this house! Pastor Jud message and Bible teaching always hits home and you leave feeling blessed and stronger in your faith. All the other pastors worship team, greeters all make you feel so welcome and loved. No judgment here afterall God knows us inside and out he doesn't care how we look on the outside and neither does anyone at Central. They just want to share God's word, praise and worship our Father in Heaven and our Lord and Savior. just show up I'm positive when you get there you won't leave. read more

This review is just for their webpage. I was trying to locate the times without giving my contact info. It was frustrating trying to navigate it. read more

Try to ask "Celebrity Pastor" Jud how much of the donations go to his family or the church.. go on ask him. I did. He skirts the question. I grew up in a small town and the congregation voted on the pastors family salary and it was common knowledge - I think they are shady with hiding all the mega church $$ they take in. Sure they help families and those in need but we as the membership should know is it 30% is it 10% what is the number!? Jud told me only founders that donate regularly know - hey I've been a generosity rockstar and all the other jingles - I've donated money for literally 8 years I deserve to know WHERE MY MONEY GOES!! Jud said they will protect the church and he put it in a way like asking for financial responsibility from your begged offering is somehow a bad thing.. it's not. Hiding secrets is. Remember what the Catholic Chirch covered up for decades? I do. LEVEL WITH THE FELLOWSHIP! read more

Central Church - Henderson - My buddy steve getting baptized. - Churches Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

I found God at this church. I learned to love him and praise him with my entire being. I started attending when I was about 12 and I'm currently 20. I got baptized at 16 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. But the only reason things played out the way that they did was because I felt called and loved and heard at this church. This church leads the way Jesus did, with love, compassion, and grace. Not only did I fall in love with God and Jesus, but I fell in love with ministry. read more

It is a good Christian church nice coffee shop nice people Pastor Jud Wilhite and his wife are very helpful

Absolutely amazing church love every second here! Amazing job with baptism, welcoming newcomers to Jesus, and awesome for all the kids

I am a very open hearted person and believe in Gods love to get us through. But I am so sad and disappointed. I hope this message reaches someone and it helps Make a difference. 500 people is too many for one night! I was On time We waited In line for 4 hours!!!! For three toys that are not even age appropriate clothes that don't fit! That are for 10 year olds! They gave us hotel toiletries in a bag. We were treated like cattle or homeless people. I am so disappointed in the way everyone was treated. Just because their serving with a deceivable Smile my 71/2 year old got a baby doll for a Three year old???? And my 17 year old got a sketch book???? And my 13 year old got a box of colored pencils???? I'm so Sorry to be complaining like this but I feel UTERLY BETRAYED BY CENTRAL CHURCH. All the asking of Sponsoring children through Hope is an absolute fraud and a scam I cannot believe that they made all of us people wait in a line like that to be served old expired hotel toiletries! I NEEDED HELP SO BADLY THIS YEAR! I spent money on driving all the way there and expected at least something for my kids to be happy about this year. My car over heated and we even got sick waiting that long! The kids needed to eat!. I have lost faith in my churches ability to actively help. Not to mention not one person in there carry's a Bible or even prays for you??? WTH kind of church is this? I'll tell you what it's a church that takes money wants money and doesn't use the money for ministry. Liars that are lining their pockets. TRUTH just read the other reviews. I urge anyone to find another church. read more

I almost feel guilty doing this....but this is my honest opinion of this place... I have to knock it down a star because of a few things.. - It is just too much production and not enough focus on Christ and the scripture. Seriously. It's one thing to have the band rocking out, the rapper, the glow sticks, the dancers etc as an opening to everything...but this literally takes up HALF the service! I didn't come here for all this mess. I came here to Praise God and Jesus! - Still overboard with the pandering for donations. I always give every time I go...gladly. But I don't necessarily want my money going to glowsticks and other nonsense like that when it could go to better causes.. I have figured out that it is best for me to just miss the first half hour of the service and show up halfway through..because I do appreciate Pastor Judd. I just wish there was more focus on the scriptures...it almost comes across as an afterthought here at times.. All that said, people are so nice and friendly here...I almost feel like my search for a good church for me still rolls on.... It is still A-OK.. 3 stars. read more

I was in town for work and wanted to find a church to go to on Sunday. I found Central church....this place was amazing from the time I got onto the property. They went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The worship was awesome. I went on Mother's Day weekend. The lady that gave the sermon was on point and exciting. She is very good at speaking the truth of the Bible. I give this church 10 stars. I will be back next time I am in town. read more
