College Central
College Central is a gathering for college-agers featuring monthly large group gatherings and weekly small group opportunities. The goal is to be a place where you can feel good about inviting friends who don’t know Jesus, but also grow in your own faith.
When do we meet?
We try to meet monthly on Sundays from 4:00-6:00. We try to schedule our events before Reveal Nights when it works with colleges’ calendars. Check out our all-church calendar for the most up to date college gatherings.
Where do we meet?
Monthly gatherings: Hearth Room at Central Church.
Weekly small groups: Meet at various locations, you’ll be given specific meeting information when you sign up.
Do I have to be a college student?
Short answer: no. College Central is open to both college students as well as non-students who are college-aged. And if you’re a little older than college-aged, our Young Adult ministry might be perfect for you.
Can I bring my friends?
We would love for you to bring your friends. In fact, every time you don’t bring a friend, a puppy cries. Don’t make a puppy cry.

Young Adults
Our Young Adult Ministry is for post-college age men and women with a goal of hanging out, studying Scripture together, and building a community of young adults in Sioux Falls who are committed to following Jesus and telling others about Him. We also eat delicious food and do other fun things along the way.
When do we meet?
Three weeks a month we will meet in small groups offsite. On one Monday a month, we will meet in the Hearth Room at the church. It will include worship, a social event, or both! These nights will start at 7:00 p.m. And please know that you don’t have to be involved in small groups to come to large group activities!
Where do we meet?
Monthly large group: We meet in Grand Central at Central Church (3102 W. Ralph Rogers Rd.), but you will enter through the Hearth Room doors.
Who’s invited?
Any young adults (ages 23-29, single or married) who are post-college age and are interested in growing in their faith.
Can I bring my friends?
Yes! If they are young adults, then we’d love for you to invite them. Assuming you want your friends to have a fantastic time and learn more about their faith and thank you forever for inviting them.

Intern Development Program
Are you interested in exploring a call to vocational ministry? Wondering how your gifts can be used in the Kingdom of God? Central’s Intern Development Program is not just an internship—it’s a program designed with one thing in mind: YOUR DEVELOPMENT.
In our one-year development program, you’ll be fully integrated into our staff culture and given real responsibility and coaching to set you on a trajectory of passionate church involvement and a life set on following Jesus.
To put it bluntly, we’re not looking for interns to fill hours and perform grunt labor, we want leaders who desire to be challenged, grown, and invested in.
If that description fits you, click the buttons below to check out our general job description and application pages.
PLEASE NOTE: Applications are due on June 30 and a decision will be made by mid-July.
Other Details
- Intern Development Program runs August-May, with a potential option to stay for the summer.
- Interns receive a monthly stipend.
- Interns are expected to commit 10-15 hours/week (some hours may vary depending on ministry schedule).
- Hours can be flexed to accommodate your schedule (some exceptions).
- For specific questions, email [email protected].
