On Tuesday night at the Mesa campus, and on Wednesday night at the Gilbert campus, Cal announced that Central Christian Church will open two new campuses by fall of 2010.
Faced with packed facilities on Sunday mornings at the Gilbert campus, which is running 4000 after only being open since October of 2007, a new campus will open this fall at Campo Verde High School in Gilbert, only one half mile from the Gilbert campus. This new campus will offer two services on Sunday mornings, a contemporary service at 9:30 and Third Format at 11:00. Student and children's programming will be offered at both. Fish taco aficionado Aaron Pennington will be the campus pastor. The teaching will be via video at 9:30 and in person with Jeremy at 11:00.
Thanks to our ARENA database, we recently discovered that over 3,300 from Queen Creek have attended Central, making Central the largest church in Queen Creek not in Queen Creek. So in the fall of 2010, the Queen Creek campus will open on the campus of Newell Barney Middle School (home of the Buccaneers).
