Central's Structures

Central Presbyterian Church occupies the corner of Seventh and Columbia Streets in downtown Lafayette, Indiana.

Central Church has two adjacent buildings: the Sanctuary Building, where the traditional worship service takes place, and the Education Building, for education classes and groups, childcare, and many meetings, as well as the early morning Celebration worship service.

Sanctuary Building

Built in 1895, this historic, Romanesque Revival building provides the church's physical presence on a main thoroughfare in town. It is considered one of the outstanding architectural structures in the Ellsworth District of Lafayette.

Our corner of the world.

Education Building

Built in 1928, the Education Building was paid for through the generous contributions of Central's congregation, especially the children. Central's youngest members saved their pennies and donated them for the cause, while others sacrificed during the dark days of the Great Depression to ensure the retirement of the mortgage.
