Welcome to CSBC!

Welcome to Cherry Street Baptist Church! It’s wonderful to have you with us this Sunday morning. Every time we come together to worship, we’re reminded of God’s faithfulness and His desire to meet with His people. Whether you’re a regular part of our church family or this is your first time visiting, we’re grateful you’ve chosen to spend this Lord’s Day with us. We’re looking forward to what the Lord has planned for us today! Please let us know you are here by filling out our digital guest card. We pray that God will bless you this weekend!

New Young Adult Class Starts Today!

We’re excited to introduce our new Young Adult class designed specifically for those who are post-college through age 35! This group has their first gathering this morning in the A Building, with their full launch coming Sunday, September 8th. We know this stage of life brings unique challenges and opportunities, and we wanted to create a space where young adults can connect with others walking similar paths. Whether you’re navigating career decisions, relationships, or simply looking for authentic community with peers, this class offers a place to grow in faith together. If you’re in this age range, we encourage you to check out this new opportunity for fellowship and Bible study!

September: Sunday School Realignment Month

September is our annual Sunday School Realignment month—a perfect time for our church family to explore new class options that might better fit their current life circumstances. As we grow and change, sometimes a different class environment can provide fresh connections and renewed enthusiasm for Bible study. Feel free to visit a new class this month and see where God might be leading you. Whether you’re looking for a different teaching style, wanting to connect with a new group of believers, or simply curious about other class options, this is your opportunity to find the perfect fit for you.

Tonight: Final Summer Sunday Night @ the Pavillion!

Join us tonight for our fourth and final Summer Sunday Night @ The Pavilion! There’s something incredibly special about gathering under God’s open sky to worship Him together. As the evening breeze carries our songs of praise and we’re surrounded by His beautiful creation, we’ll be reminded of how good our God truly is. Tonight we’ll wrap up our sweet summer series with delicious ice cream sundaes—the perfect way to conclude these memorable evenings! These gatherings have offered us the perfect opportunity to slow down, connect with each other, and focus on what matters most. Bring your lawn chairs or camp chairs and join us one last time as we experience the joy of worshiping together beneath God’s beautiful summer sky!

Back to School Town Hall – Just One Week Away!

Don’t miss our “Back To School Town Hall” next Sunday night, featuring Jeff Stanford from First Priority! Jeff equips teenagers across our area to hold weekly Gospel-centered meetings right on their school campuses, reaching their classmates for Christ. He’ll be sharing eye-opening insights about what’s really happening in our Springfield schools and discussing the unique challenges and opportunities we face with Generation Alpha. As parents, grandparents, and church family members, this is crucial information we need to better understand and support our young people. Mark your calendars now for this encouraging and informative evening that could change how you pray for and engage with the next generation!

Truth Trackers Begins August 27

Our Wednesday evening Truth Trackers program launches a week from this Wednesday! This dynamic children’s program helps kids “lock in truth and live out faith” through engaging Bible study, Scripture memory, and daily devotions. We’ve organized three age-specific groups—Tiny Trackers (preschool), Scripture Spies (grades 1-3), and Faith Force (grades 4-6)—each learning core Christian truths through interactive lessons, memory challenges, and special themed activities. With awards and incentives along the way, kids stay motivated while building genuine friendships with their peers. Truth Trackers goes beyond simply memorizing verses—we’re helping children truly understand and live out their faith every day. Don’t wait—register your kids now for this life-changing Wednesday evening journey that’s just around the corner!
