What You Can Expect
Worship and Message
Our service is centered on the hope found in Jesus Christ. You can expect vibrant worship followed by gospel-centered preaching that explores the historic truth of the resurrection and its power to transform our lives today.
Historic Location
We’re excited to host our church in the famous Paramount Theater, located in the middle of the Historic Downtown Mall of Charlottesville. We look forward to worshiping together in the heart of our community.
Family-friendly Service
We welcome kids of all ages to join their parents in the auditorium at the Paramount to worship together. Due to limited room capacity, we will only be able to offer childcare for babies and toddlers 6-24 months.
Register and serve!
We’re preparing to welcome everyone well, and there are two simple ways you can help:
1 – Register to attend.
Let us know you’re coming (and which service you’ll be at) so we can plan accordingly. And don’t forget to invite a friend!
2 – Sign up to serve.
Be part of the team creating a warm, gospel-centered welcome. From first impressions to behind-the-scenes support, every role helps people experience the love of Christ.
What time should I arrive?
We recommend you arriving a few minutes earlier than usual to give yourself enough time to walk from the parking garages to the theater – about 10-15 minutes early may be a good estimate to give you plenty of time to orient yourself!
Where can I park?
Center Church will be providing parking at two nearby garages: Market St Garage and Water St Garage (see map).
When you arrive, a parking volunteer will be able to help you with parking validation.
How is safety being handled?
Our safety team will be on-site and is developing a plan beforehand on how to keep the event safe and secure.
Is the Paramount handicap accessible?
Yes, the theater is accessible; there will also be golf carts offering rides from the parking garages for those who need them!
Do I need to register my child?
If your child is between 6-24 months, you’ll see you can register them for kids ministry. Older children should be registered as attendees for the auditorium.
Are registrations assigned seating?
No; all registrations are general admission.
Will there be services at 475 Westfield?
No; all services on April 5 will be held at the Paramount.
Can I bring a bag?
Yes, bags are permitted in the theater, so bring your purse or diaper bag–no problem!
