As someone once wrote, “History is His Story.” Central Baptist Church is a church founded on the person and principles of Jesus Christ. Apart from him, we could be and do nothing. So - all praise and glory to Him for what was, what is and is to come.!
Central Baptist Church was constituted on November 27, 1955, with 299 members. The church broke ground on its first facilities on Watson Boulevard in 1956 and has continued to grow and expand with Warner Robins. Our present pastor - Dr. Owen Bozeman - began his tenure in June of 1995.
Down through the years, Central Baptist Church has been marked by its firm commitment to the Bible as the Word of God, and by always keeping in view the basic purposes of the church: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and evangelism. The church has always been generous in its giving, supporting not only the ministries of this local church, but missions work throughout the world.
Some of the unique features of this congregation include our International Ministries, which for over thirty years has helped people from different people groups learn English and work toward their United States citizenship, as well as providing worship services in their native tongue. Since 1960, Central Baptist Church has sponsored Sonshine Preschool, which has offered preschool care and education for both children and families. Central has also offered a live Sunday morning radio broadcast since 1984 and a weekly television broadcast since 1989. Our church has also been very active in worldwide missions, annually sending teams to various countries and people groups around the globe.
Faced with a landlocked location and aging facilities, Central Baptist Church voted in 1997 to relocate to a new site. In 1998, the church purchased a large 155 acre tract of land at Lake Joy Road and the new Russell Parkway extension. After several years of prayer and planning, a large new church facility was constructed. The first services were held there on February 13, 2005.
On November 27, 2005, Central Baptist Church celebrated its 50th anniversary. But the best is yet to come! Our church is really growing and we invite you to come and grow with us! We have ministries for every age and stage of life that are designed to help people discover God’s purpose for their lives both here and hereafter. Won’t you come and join us on the journey?
