Central's local partners are organizations within the greater Sioux Falls community that are actively meeting needs, serving vulnerable populations, and sharing the love of Christ in practical and transformative ways. These partnerships allow us to join the work God is already doing right here in our city through ministries focused on housing, food security, education, crisis support, and spiritual care. Some of these organizations have been connected to Central for many years, while others are newer relationships that continue to grow as our city’s needs evolve.

We encourage our congregation to become involved with these local partners in meaningful ways. Explore the link in each description to learn how you can support these organizations through prayer, volunteer opportunities, material donations, and by coming alongside their ongoing work.
