Stories of grace, forgiveness, and redemption through Jesus at Center Church.
All Things Made New
Their story is more than a marriage restored; it’s two hearts transformed. It’s living proof that God’s grace is deeper than our failures and that His plans are always for our good. What once felt shattered beyond repair has become a testimony of redemption—one that reminds them daily that God wastes nothing. Every tear, every prayer, every moment of surrender became part of a greater story, one marked not by perfection but by grace, faith, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting Him fully.
An Unexpected Invitation
Rad and Sam Arceta thought faith was just tradition—until neighbors invited their kids to a backyard Bible program. What followed was a journey through community, answered prayer, baptism, and everyday discipleship. Their story shows how God can take ordinary steps and turn them into lasting transformation.
Saying ‘Yes’ to the Unexpected
Todd and Emeris Rhines were not looking for a life overseas. Both raised in faith-filled homes, they knew the importance of missions, but assumed their role would be one of support, not stepping onto the mission field themselves.
Anchored in Faith
When first asked to consider becoming an elder at Center Church, it felt like more than Chuck was ready for. But as he prayed, listened, and engaged with the church’s leadership, his perspective began to change. What once felt daunting turned into a clear, Spirit-led calling to help others discover their God-given role in the church. Together with his wife, Karen, Chuck’s journey is marked by humility, perseverance, and a deep commitment to serve. Through spiritual lessons and seasons of trial, they’ve remained anchored in faith—devoted to equipping others, one relationship and one act of obedience at a time.
A Story of Steady Faith
Ken and Carla Schuette’s story is one of faith, perseverance, and open-handed living. Through seasons of loss, busyness, and new beginnings, they’ve learned to trust a faithful God and to pour His love into others—whether through mentoring, hosting, or simply creating a place of peace in their home. Their journey is a reminder that making a difference often starts in the everyday, one prayer, one conversation, and one act of obedience at a time.
