Our Youth Ministry introduces our students to Christ in a very real and challenging way. They are encouraged by dedicated leaders to share their knowledge of Christ with their friends and fellow students.

Central Baptist offers exciting Bible study and worship through participation in Twenty-Four:7, our Wednesday night youth worship service. Twenty-Four:7 meets at 6:15 p.m. each Wednesday evening and students can expect passionate worship and sound biblical teaching.

Central Baptist offers Sunday School classes each week for all students in grades 6-12. In addition, our students also have opportunities to go on various mission trips, retreats, and camps. Our desire is that students will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and grow toward maturity in Christ.

“Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man mature in Jesus Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)
