This year, we will be participating in Christmas Connect: a program that is run by Love Thy Neighbor, which allows churches like us to "adopt" local families who cannot provide Christmas gifts for their kids. We'll get a list of their names, ages, sizes, and gift ideas, and then together, we'll shop, wrap, and deliver gifts for them. It's a great way to love our neighbors this Christmas season. So on Wednesday December 14, we invite you to meet at Target…
Join us on Sunday, December 18 for a very special Sunday. We'll have a family worship service, complete with Kids performance, special songs, and a message that is good for all ages - and afterwards, we're going to have a Christmas brunch/party (including a very special guest....). We don't want you to miss it! 9:30 on the 18th, with the Christmas brunch/party afterwards. We'd love for you to join us. All are welcome, always.
Join us this Christmas Eve for our Christmas Eve (candlelight) worship service. It'll be at 5:00PM this year, a little earlier than usual to give you a chance to go and spend Christmas Eve with family and friends. This is going to be a great service, so please invite and bring someone with you! Childcare / classes will be provided through 3rd grade, if you choose. Kids are always welcomed in the service as well.
Christmas is on a Sunday this year, so we'd love for you to join us for a special Christmas morning worship service! We invite you to wear Christmas PJs, be ready to sing some Christmas songs, and hear the joyful good news that Christ has been born. The service will be at 11:00AM.
For many people, Christmas Day is a day filled with unwrapping gifts, running around from house to house, big family meals, and so on. But as we know, for others, it can be a day of loneliness. So with that in mind, we want to invite you to enjoy a Christmas Day lunch meal with us. It'll be right after the Christmas Day worship service, and is open to anyone who'd like to come. We'll have subs, chips, drinks, desserts,…
Central Youth is going bowling! If you're in middle school or high school, we invite you to join us on Saturday, February 25 from 1:30-4:00 for bowling! It'll be at Bowlero in Hazlet, and will cost $15 for pizza, soda, bowling, and more fun. Contact Rebecca Delucia for more info.
On Sunday, March 26 after the service, we'll hold "All In" - a new members class. We'll talk about the vision and identity of Central, what it means to be a member, what we believe, how things work, and much much more. If you're looking to become a member at Central, or just hoping to learn more about Central, we'd love for you to join us. Please RSVP by letting Matt know you'll be coming (for preparation/planning purposes). There'll be an additional…
Join us at sunrise (6:30) on Easter Sunday at the Atlantic Highlands Harbor Gazebo for a Sunrise Worship Service. This is a joint service of the Area Association of Community Churches (AACC), so we're thrilled to have other area churches participating. Pastor Matt will be preaching. Should be a good one! Invite some friends! And remember to dress warm, and bring warm blankets and a warm beverage - because it's a bit chilly on the water at sunrise in April!…
Join us this Easter at Central Baptist at 9:30AM, to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord! This should be a great service to invite your friends, neighbors, and family to! We'll have childcare and classes through 5th grade as normal.

On Wednesday, May 17, we will host our first “Equip” seminar. This inaugural seminar will focus on mental health, equipping us to better love our neighbors who struggle with their own mental health issues – so that we can be a voice of hope in our community. It will educate, destigmatize, and open up this important conversation for us. So many people struggle with such issues, and for too long a time, the church was guilty of sweeping it under…
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…
