The Student Ministry at Central Baptist Church seeks to introduce students to Jesus Christ and help them become fully devoted followers of Him. We call our Ministry 24/7 because the Christian life should be lived out every second of every day. Our greatest desire is to glorify God in all that we do and to partner with Him in what He is doing!

We want every student to:

1. Connect To God.

2. Connect To Others.

3. Own Their Faith.

4. Make Their Faith Known.

Connecting To God: Connection Point

Connection Point, our Sunday night worship service, offers students the opportunity to Connect to God through engaging worship, prayer, and biblical teaching.

Connecting To Others: Connection Groups

Connection Groups, our Sunday morning small groups, offer students the opportunity to connect to other students through accountability, discussion, and biblical teaching. Each group is led by an adult that is passionate about seeing students grow in their relationship with God and with each other.

Owning Your Faith: 24/7 University

24/7 University, our Wednesday night teaching time, will challenge students to own their faith. Students will be challenged to know what they believe and taught how to defend their faith.

Making Your Faith Known: G:Local

G:Local, our service and missions ministry, offers students the opportunity to serve the body of Christ. Students will be encouraged to put their faith into practice by serving in the body at Central, going on national and international mission trips, and by being a witness here and around the world.
