FAQs

We recommend what you would wear to any other special non-formal event, such as a traditional church service, awards ceremony, or nice dinner (i.e. “dressy casual”). For men, this means a collared shirt and dark trousers/slacks. Women are advised to keep skirts/dresses knee-length or longer and wear comfortable shoes.

You and your guests will be able to park in front of Science Hall (1200 South Main Street McPherson, Kansas 67460) or at the McPherson Free Methodist Church (1010 S Maple St, McPherson, KS 67460)

The campus is located on the very south end of Main Street in McPherson, KS. If you need more detailed directions, we recommend using Google Maps (map of McPherson: http://goo.gl/maps/HdE42).

We are sad that you won’t be able to join us in person and are excited to still celebrate your major accomplishment of graduating from college. We are inviting all students who can’t make it in person to submit a photo of themselves in their regalia that can be used during the ceremony.  If you do not have your regalia with you it will be mailed to you. Graduates be watching for a survey coming from the academic office that will collect the information of where it needs to be sent.

Then you will be able to log on to the live stream at the Here.

Guest seating will NOT be limited in the sanctuary and overflow will be available in the church’s fellowship hall. Questions can be directed to the Registrar’s Office (registrar@centralchristian.edu or 620-241-0723 x116).
