Welcome to Central Church, also known as Central Christian Church, a non-denominational Evangelical Christian megachurch rooted in Henderson, Nevada. Originally founded back in 1962, this expansive ministry has grown into a major worship destination, recognized nationally as one of the largest megachurches in the United States. If you are visiting the main Henderson location, you will experience its impressive headquarters—a massive 148,000-square-foot interior situated on a sprawling 56-acre property, where the church has been based since 1999.
Under the leadership of senior pastor Jud Wilhite, Central attracts roughly 21,055 weekly visitors across its network. Beyond its main Henderson campus, the church operates multiple physical locations across the Las Vegas Valley, including Summerlin, Aliante, and Sunrise Manor. Its footprint even extends outside Nevada to Kingman, Arizona, Gulf Breeze, Florida, and Morelia, Mexico.
Whether you are exploring the vast Henderson grounds, attending a Spanish-language service hosted directly at the main campus, or tuning into services broadcast live on the internet, visiting Central offers you a firsthand look at a modern, vibrant regional worship center with a global reach.
