AACC Easter Sunrise Service

Join us early – very early – 6AM! – on Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at the annual AACC Sunrise Easter Service. This is an opportunity for all of the churches in our area to participate and worship together. Bring a blanket and something warm (and a pair of sunglasses helps…you’ll end up looking into the sun a bit!).
See you at 6AM (note the time change because of the early sunset). If inclement weather, it’ll be held at Central Baptist.

May 2025 Parents' Night Out
2025-05-09 18:00 - 20:00 | Central Baptist Church, 28 East Highland Ave, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, 07716
Have an out of this world date night!

Let’s face it: parenting can be kind of tiring, finding babysitters can be tough to find, and often, we neglect our marriages because of it. We know that’s what it can be like! So why don’t you drop the kids off with us for a few hours, and go and have an out of this world date night?!?

Our team of responsible, seasoned child-care givers will have a great time with your kids so you can go out and have a great time together. Registration is available here. We look forward to seeing your child(ren) at Parents Night Out and for you to get a much deserved night off!

Here is the information for the night:

Date: Friday May 9, 2025

Age: 2 years old* – 5th grade (*note: limited spots for kids 2-4 – so sign up today!)
Time: 6:00PM – 8:00PM *please feel free to drop off late and/or pick-up early as needed. If you are planning this in advance please put that in the notes section of the form.

Location: Central Baptist Church
28 E Highland Ave, Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716
*Please use the driveway ‘office’ entrance for both drop-off and pick-up.

REGISTER HERE!

FYI: We have a Youth Group for 6th – 12th grade that meets weekly on Wednesday nights from 7:00 – 8:30pm. Email rebecca@cbcah.org for more information.

Block Party, 2025!
2025-05-18 15:00 - 18:00 | Central Baptist Church, 28 East Highland Ave, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, 07716
Last year – after being here at the corner of 3rd and E. Highland Ave in Atlantic Highlands for over 100 years – we threw our first block party…and we think it’s time to do it again! So on Sunday May 18th, we’re going to host another one! It’ll start at 3PM and go until around 6PM. If you live in this (general) area, we’d love to have you come and hang out, eat and drink and play. ALL are welcome.
We’ll have burgers and dogs and whatnot, along with games for the kids and for adults (cornhole and that kind of thing). If you want to bring a side dish, dessert, beverage, a yard game, or whatever else – go for it!
If you have any questions or fun ideas, get in touch with us! Contact Rebecca DeLucia, our Next Generation Pastor.
*Note: the town doesn’t allow traditional block parties (closed streets, etc.), so the block party will be on our property (the church driveway and parsonage yard next-door).

Gazebo Worship Services!
2025-08-03 09:30 - 10:30 | Harbor Gazebo, Simon Lake Dr, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, United States
This August (and Sept. 7), we’ll be taking our worship back outdoors to the Atlantic Highlands Harbor Gazebo (right at the end of 1st Ave, on Simon Lake Dr.)! Why not take advantage of this beautiful town, our beautiful harbor, and a beautiful summer?!
We’ll do it every Sunday in August (except for the 10th – see below), as well as September 7th. We’ll have a kids class and nursery, as well as free bagels afterwards. These services are excellent opportunities for people who might want to come worship with us, but who might not be ready to come to a church building.
This summer, we invite you to Come & See Jesus with us!
Bring sunglasses, water, and some friends! All are welcome – even dogs!
The services are weather permitting, and will move back to Central in case of rain. This year, we’re planning on putting together some better shade options as well!
On August 10th, we are unable to worship at the gazebo because there is a town festival – so instead, we’ll be doing a joint worship service with St. Paul Baptist (at St. Paul)! It’ll be at 10AM indoors, with a BBQ truck and more afterwards in their parking lot – right in the center of town.

It’ll start at NOON, and we’ll have chilis, hot dogs, subs, sides, desserts, games for the kids, and so much more. We’d love for you to come, and bring some friends, family, and other folks.
If you’d like to bring a chili, side dish, or a dessert – we’d love it. Contact Rebecca DeLucia to coordinate (especially if you’re planning on bring a chili!).
