Five Star Ministry

According to the church’s website, they have five primary “stars” to serve God and His people. One of the stars of their service is worship, where they express their adoration, thanksgiving, respect, and love for God.

As further explained, they believe that the incredible power of God nurtures the lives of those who come in the presence of this great church.

Moreover, the church highlighted that the second star of their service is Discipleship.

According to the website, the discipleship development approach of Central Baptist Church is intentional, systematic, and sustaining. They added that their process cultivates movement from world-centered existing to Christ-centered living.

Stewardship
