I am delighted to have this opportunity to tell you about the mission and ministry of Central Baptist Church. We are committed to ministering to the needs of our church family and our community. At the same time we have a world-wide vision . Support of missions is important to us. We are committed to being a Great Commission Church: (Matthew 28:19-20) Jesus said, "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." We also seek to be a church committed to the Great Commandment: (Matthew 22:37-40) Jesus said the great commandment is, "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...love your neighbor as yourself." The ministries mentioned on the following pages are brief descriptions of some of the ways we try to carry out the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
