We, Central Baptist Church, are a community of faith located in Sioux Falls, SD that is committed to connecting people with a life that counts for eternity by building disciples that go and change lives.
Our roots date back to 1883 when a group of believers met under the name Swedish Baptist Church. We took on the name Central Baptist Church in the 1920's and the legacy of our congregation includes a radio ministry which operated for more than sixty years, a number of church plants and a now-complete campus located on Ralph Rogers Road, which includes a 1200-seat worship center, a preschool / kindergarten and a family life center.
As of 2010, we are now home to a Swahili congregation, have an active Chinese community and provide ASL signing for the hearing impaired during Sunday services. Central is home to a preschool & kindergarten that serves more than 300 students each week. We are actively engaged in missions work through a number of partnerships with local ministries and missionaries in the United States and overseas. We also hold a number of special events throughout the year including a number of concerts and the Leadership Summit.
Although the shape and ministries of Central Baptist Church have changed a lot during the last 127 years, we remain committed to the mission that God has given the church: to love God and our neighbors (Matthew 22:36-40) and to share the saving message of Jesus Christ with all the world (Matthew 28:16-20).
You can learn more about what we believe by reading our statement of faith and get a feel about what it's like to attend a Sunday service by visiting our photo gallery or watching last week's sermon online. We meet at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM on Sunday mornings and have a number of events for people of all interests and ages throughout the week. If you need directions, we've got those too.
If you are interested in learning more about Central Baptist Church, feel free to join us on a Sunday morning. We'll greet you with a warm handshake and a fresh cup of coffee (or whatever fancy coffee drink you might enjoy). We'd love to have you join us.
