Why this petition matters

Started by Saving Central

The campus at 4711 Westside, Dallas, TX 75029 is at risk of sale and demolition if we cannot raise funds to purchase it from the church and establish a nonprofit that will continue the amazing Community Engagement work and hosting of New Churches.

    for a view of just some of the amazing, life-transforming work happening on our campus.

On any given Saturday we serve several hundred people, even with COVID safety protocols like social distancing. The building's 34,000 sqft on 4+ acres provide ample space for physical distancing AND connection with neighbors, friends and colleagues.

This effort honors the legacy of the congregation of Central Christian Church (c 1863). This is not about "saving the congregation" which has sadly reached the point of unsustainability. Instead, this launches and extends the amazing work that Central has been doing to gather people from around North Texas, working as partners to experience and offer transformation. 

This campus is a Home for Healing in the Heart of the City.

The financial goal:
At Least $5M to purchase the property
At least $150k / year for operations
At least $1.5M for renovation and remodel

This campus currently serves several hundred people in addiction recovery, dozens of adults with severe disabilities, LGBTQ & BIPOC neighbors who long for a safe place of welcome, creatives making art and music, multiple faith communities, Wellness practitioners and their clients, persons of diverse SES, Social Entrepreneurs, neighborhood associations, chefs and food artisans, voters, local clubs, and individuals, families, children who enjoy nature, and love to hang out with their dogs.

ALL of this happens ON THE SAME CAMPUS, AT THE SAME TIME, so all of these amazing folks cross paths, interact, and learn from and with each other.

YOU are part of a group that currently comes to Central. YOU are represented on our campus. YOU are the neighbor with gifts to offer and a contribution to make. You can make a difference.
