Central Baptist Church

Fellowship and Community

Our Fellowship and Community is organically and beautifully crafted based on the interests and needs of our local membership.

Family Integrated

We enjoy everything together as a family, all ages in community and fellowship.

Themed Cookouts and Potlucks

Fellowship and meals go together, and we are passionate about great hospitality and great food! Join us for weekly cookouts in the summer and, outside of summer, monthly themed potlucks in the Fellowship Hall with professionally trained chefs. Exchange ideas for great food and great hospitality and bring your newfound skills to share with the local body of believers at Central Baptist Church in Aurora. For the Sundays when all-church lunches are not scheduled, we encourage smaller groups to get together for lunch after church by either going out to a restaurant or gathering in each other’s homes, and our congregation is very good at carrying out that encouragement!

Wednesday Night Bible Study

Wednesday night Bible studies are scheduled at various times throughout each year. We meet at Pastor Shane’s home, and he is currently leading us in the study of 9 Marks of a Healthy Church. Check the calendar for active dates.

Self Defense Training

Over the years, our membership has been comprised of FBI, law enforcement, military, and families desiring to become skilled in self-defense in order to protect their family, church, and community. This has presented a unique opportunity for our local church to grow in fellowship and community in a broad spectrum of self-defense training. We regularly train in MMA, and throughout the year, we have various events related to self-defense such as concealed carry trainings, target practice, and FBI CRASE and like presentations from the Aurora Police Department. Keep an eye on the calendar and social media for these events.

MMA Summer Camp at Church

MMA Summer Camp is in June, and this is a great time of fellowship and community for the coaches and members overseeing the camp. We work together to provide MMA training to kids in the community for a week, share the gospel, and protect the kids. Spanish-speaking members and EMT’s, CNA’s, and medical professionals are especially helpful during these camps.

Home for the Holidays

Family in Christ at Central Baptist Church share the holidays together: Thanksgiving at the Sowers home with deep fried turkey, Christmas Eve with award-winning prime rib and a Candlelight Christmas Eve service at the church, a New Year’s Watch with members who open their homes, followed shortly thereafter by a savory, hearty nacho bar on Super Bowl Sunday in February.
