What do you believe?

Check out a summary of our beliefs here.

What Should I expect on my first visit?

As a young, growing church we value our friendly, family-oriented  atmosphere.  A friendly and helpful usher will greet you when you arrive at our facility in the Brookhollow Business Park. The usher will escort you to our Welcome Center where you can enjoy fresh coffee and donuts before the service begins.

During the service you will enjoy singing wonderful time-tested hymns. The focus of our worship is a clear, practical, and inspiring Bible message from Pastor Gehlken. The service is a  little more than an hour in length and you are invited to connect with new friends in our Welcome Center before and after each  service. 

If you have any questions during your visit please feel free to ask any usher or Pastor Gehlken.

Where do I take my children?

Starting with loving, safe, and clean nurseries, youth ministry is very important at Central Baptist Church. Children twelve and under enjoy a fun, Bible-centered class during the Sunday AM Worship Service and a challenging Kid's Klub on Thursday nights.

As a new church, we have limited resources, but not a limited vision to equip our young people with the skills they need to succeed in the Christian life. We believe ministering to youth is the cornerstone of building healthy and happy Christian homes of tomorrow. We offer age-targeted youth classes and activities, and partner with other churches of like-faith to provide camps and other faith-building adventures.

What about my teens?

At this time, teens worship with the adults in our main services. Additionally, we are building a teen ministry which will provide safe, Christ-centered activities and connections. At Central Baptist Church, we have a deep passion to partner with you to help your teenagers succeed in all areas of life during these crucial years.

How should I dress?

We do not have a dress code for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional "Sunday" dress - the men in a dress shirt and dress slacks, typically with a tie, and the women in modest dress; however, our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable during your visit here at Central Baptist!

Who is Pastor Gehlken?

Pastor Aaron Gehlken started Central Baptist Church in 2009 after serving as a military officer and owning his own consulting firm. You can read more about Pastor Gehlken here.

Am I Expected to Participate in the Offering?

No. We don't invite you to Central Baptist Church for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God's Word, and a place where you can grow in God's grace. Please don't feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest. 

Other questions?

If we've missed something on this list, just give us a call, or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you're new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it's been a long time since you've attended church at all, we hope your first visit at Central Baptist will be awesome! We exist to serve you and your family, and we are looking forward to meeting you personally. We hope you'll feel right at home from the very first moment you step into our facility! Let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
