The Fire that Fuels Us: What Pentecost Means for Baptists Today For many of us in Baptist circles, our church calendars are marked by two massive milestones: Easter and Christmas. We rightly pour our energy into celebrating the empty tomb and the manger. But there is another major biblical milestone that often slips by with Pentecost is the foundational story of the global Church. As we look at Acts 2, let’s rediscover why Pentecost matters deeply for Baptist believers today.

Dear Beloved CBC Family and Friends, As we step into this New Year together, my heart is full of gratitude for each of you and great expectation for what God desires to do among us. A new year invites us not only to set goals, but to be INTENTIONAL—especially about our relationships with God and with one another. In a world that often pulls us toward isolation and distraction, the Holy Spirit calls us deeper into genuine connection, forgiveness, encouragement, and love.
