Talking About on Sundays
Light & Life
The famous Christmas song, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, tells us that ``light and life, to all He brings...`` - that the birth of Jesus means light and life for everyone. And that is extraordinarily good news, because this world can be a dark place. But, Advent begins in the dark, and it is into our dark that the Light & Life of Christ comes. So in this series, we will be exploring what the birth of Jesus brings to us...what is this Light and Life?

Series: Light & Life
This world can be a dark place, filled with reasons to have fear. But as God calls to us through the Christmas angels, we are free to “Fear not!” – and instead, to replace our fear with hope. In this kickoff to our “Light & Life”series, we explore how the birth of Christ replaces our fear with hope.

Series: Better Than You Think
Speaker: Rebecca Delucia
Topic: God , God's Love , Known by Love , Live by Faith , Mission
Book: Jonah
In this series, we’ve heard how God is so much Better Than You Think. In light of that fact, what’s our calling? Is it to hold on to God for ourselves or to go and share him with others? (Re)hear the story of Jonah with us, and hear what our calling is in light of how good God is.

Series: Better Than You Think
God’s judgment is typically one of those topics we like to avoid. But what if, even in God’s judgment, He is better than you think? He is, and what we see is that His judgment is good, necessary, and supremely hopeful. Check this one out.
A bit about us
Who are we?
Central Baptist Church is an intergenerational congregation in the heart of Atlantic Highlands, NJ – that has been here for over 125 years. We are not a perfect people, but we’re a warm, kind, and generous community. We’d love for you to join us and ‘come and see’ for yourself.
We blend contemporary and traditional elements of worship into our services; preserving our faith history while embracing new traditions in worship. We love kids, and are excited to be growing our kids programs. We are affiliated with the American Baptist Churches – New Jersey and the American Baptist Churches – USA.
What matters here?
What is ‘central’ at Central? Jesus. He is our center, as we seek to live our lives by faith in him, to be known by the way we love like him, and to echo him by being a voice of hope in the world. This is what matters here at Central.
Why are we here?
We are here because we believe that Jesus Christ is the hope of the world – a world that God so deeply and profoundly loves – and through churches like ours, God shares his love with the world. So we are here to share his love, to bear witness to his amazing grace, and as he calls us to, to love our neighbors.
