Steinway Sundays provide a glorious and joyous event series to support our programs and ministries. From its beginning, our church has supported vibrant musical performance. Generations of church members and church friends have sung in our choir for our Sunday services and for other special community events under the expert leadership of Wallace Van Lier, Paul Homer (who retired after 50 years in July 2019), and now Matthew Caputy. The Sunday service anthems encompass classical, contemporary, spiritual, and popular faith-inspired selections. Accompaniment and instrumental selections are performed on a sensational Skinner organ.

Central Park UMC's hosting of Krista Seddon’s Steinway Sundays continues and broadens our rich musical tradition and commitment. Scores of people have been introduced in our beautiful Parlor to this unique series of piano jazz performance and detailed historic and personal commentary. Krista was a great friend of, and collaborator with, Marian McPartland, whose Piano Jazz series was the longest running series on National Public Radio.
Season III, The Art of Cool, promises to be another thrilling musical opportunity with twelve performance/lecture events by Krista resuming in the autumn of 2021. Central Park is proud to further integrate with the Buffalo and WNY community through this series, as we also host each week a rich and deep collection of community helping activities. Clara’s Closet, housed in our church basement for over 20 years, has been the primary source of free clothing for new immigrants, especially those joining our community through local refugee resettlement agencies. Many groups supportive of people with substance abuse problems meet here. Our church is a welcoming, inclusive congregation. In addition to Steinway Sundays, we hope you will participate in our other church programs, as well as Sunday church services at 10:30 AM.
