THIS SUNDAY is Baptism Sunday!

Baptism is an important step of faith and obedience that shows others we believe and have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation.

If you have been considering taking the first steps of following and obeying Jesus but have questions, our church staff and leaders are always available to answer your questions.

If you're ready to follow Jesus and dive in, we want to encourage you to consider making that decision a public declaration this Sunday, May 3rd during our Baptism Sunday!

You can find out more or contact us to discuss baptism at www.centrallive.net/baptism. You can also reach out to our ministry staff by email at [email protected] or text us at (815) 765-4222.
