The Christ Central story began in August of 1992. Prayer meetings were held in the basement of a church in downtown Columbia for 96 weeks. Then, in June of 1994, a man came asking for food. The next day five more came, and the numbers continued to grow.

Christ Central has continued to grow and expand its services to include: hot meals, food distribution, clothing distribution, shower and laundry facilities for the homeless, job placement assistance, family shelters, men's shelters, women and children's shelters, children's ministries, domestic violence assistance, job training, continuing education, and higher education.

Today, Christ Central Ministries consists of 10 Mission Stations, Christ Central Institute, and Christ Central Kids Kamps.
