First Central Baptist 
Building a community to change the world 

Thanks for discovering our website. We trust that you will discover the answers to the questions you are seeking.

 

First Central Baptist Church is a family of families who are passionately devoted to studying, learning, and living God’s Word. We recently considered the question, “What makes a great church?” We believe that “A Great Commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission makes a Great Church.” Rather than just being a warm, caring fellowship, we want to have a positive impact on our community.

 

Please join us for one of our worship services. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.

Advent Sermon Series
When it comes to the Christmas story, we often get our theology from Christmas cards or Christmas carols. We see Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the shepherds, the wise men, the star, and the angels as actors in a Christmas pageant. We pose the figures in a Nativity set as if it was the group photo at the birth of Jesus. We lose sight of the fact that these are real people and real events.
On Sunday, December 15, we will consider Anna (Luke 2:36-38).
Sermon Series
In a pluralistic, multi-cultural world, is the church still necessary? If so, what role does it play? What does Scripture say about wealth and materialism, the role of women, leadership and authority, discipline in the church, and a Christian's response to the cults?
 
The apostle Paul addresses all of these issues in his first letter to Timothy. Join us as we study 1 Timothy and discover "The Blueprints for the Church."

Pastor Mark resumes the series on December 29.
