SERVE THE CITY
We believe God calls all Christians to show compassion to those in need. Psalm 82:3-4 cries out, "Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Through our local compassion efforts, Central Bible Church seeks to meet the needs of people in our neighboring communities. For more information, contact us.

In an effort to be the church in the public schools, Pantego Bible Church has formed an exciting strategic partnership with Kids Beach Club. Kids Beach Clubs are after-school Bible clubs for children grades 3 through 6. PBC leads Beach Clubs at Duff, Miller, and Sherrod Elementary schools by providing volunteers and financial support to make them happen throughout the school year. The goal of this outreach is to make Jesus famous in the public schools!
