Books will be recommended via email and Central Bible Church's facebook page.

Community Missions are a vital part of Central Bible Church. We strive to make a difference not only in the lives of our members, but also in the lives of those in the community in which we live. It is our desire to have our spiritual lives manifest itself in the love for others as we try to reach out to our neighbors through various community missions projects.
