Central Baptist Church Description

The most important stuff …

We believe Jesus is the only way and the Bible is completely true. We think following Jesus TOGETHER is the only way to do it. Relationships are huge, and we want to build up those who already know Jesus and invite those who don’t to the full life found in Him.

Some practicals you may want to know …

We are a multisite church in the Edmonton metro area (about 1.3m population). We have people deeply involved from all generations. We currently average 700-800 in weekly attendance across our three sites and another 150-200 online.

Our culture and feel …

We choose relational and casual over formal and corporate. We think being ready to confess and eager to forgive is a really big deal. We feel like we should know people we are worshipping with, and so we work hard to set up ministries and structures that will help this happen. We’re not a huge church, but you can blend in for a while. Eventually, though, we’re going to ask you your name, and we think thats a good thing.
