Our Worship Minister is passionate about leading people into authentic, Christ-centered worship that glorifies God and prepares hearts to receive His Word. At Central Baptist Church Thornton, worship is more than music, it's our response to who God is and what He has done.

Every song, every prayer, and every moment is intentionally centered on pointing people to Jesus.
Our hearts desire is to cultivate a culture of worship that extends beyond Sunday mornings, one that encourages believers to live lives surrendered to Christ, filled with gratitude, and empowered to serve Him daily.
Psalm 34 : 3 - O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.
