If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:1-2 | |

What gem we have in our Silvertones! The Worship Ministry of our Senior Adults began years ago under the direction of former Worship Pastor, Ed Davidson. Over the years they have blessed our church and our community with their beautiful voices. Now under the direction of Rodney Powe, they travel around the community singing beloved hymns to our local nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Thank you Silvertones for always being:

To be prepared for the return of Christ, we must never forget:

▪ Jesus’ return will be sudden
▪ Jesus’ judgment will be irreversible

▪ We must be prepared for Christ return

Rodney Powe Marks 10 years as Worship Pastor at CBC!
There is an old hymn that says "Count Your Blessings, Name Them One By One..."
Rodney and his family are certainly people we count as blessings! After being called to Central Baptist in 2014 from a church in NC, Rodney has brought exceptional music and leadership through his work with the Worship Team, Senior Adults and Small Groups. He has brought award winning artists to our stage, but mainly worship music that points to Jesus Christ. Thank you Rodney, Libby, Cheney, Sadie, Judson and Aiden for your service to Central Baptist Church. We look forward to many more years of serving together!
