Talking About on Sundays
Live By Faith
As people who follow Jesus, we seek to “Live by Faith” in all things. But what exactly does that mean? What is faith? What is it not? And above all, how do we “live by” it? In our new series called “Live By Faith”, we'll seek to answer those exact questions. So if you are someone who is seeking to follow after Jesus, this series is for you. If you’re seeking to learn more about what faith even is, this series is for you. If you’re losing your faith, this series is for you. If you can’t seem to find it, guess what? It’s for you too. And it’s definitely for your friend or neighbor or coworker who you’ve been thinking about inviting.

Some seasons in life, it feels like we’re out in a boat in a storm, with the boat getting battered by the waves. Sometimes it feels like our boat can’t take it, like we’re going down. Instead of walking away from faith when things are rough, how do we live by faith instead? Find our more here.

Ever feel like it’s impossible to live by faith because your faith is barely alive? We’ve all been there, and we’ll all be there at some point. The question is, how do we catch “the real thing” again? How do we find a faith that is alive, active, and on fire?

Series: Live By Faith
What is faith? What is it not? What is particular about faith in Christ? These are questions we explore as we launch our new series called “Live By Faith”.
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.
