J. M. Frost from "Baptist Why and Why Not"
Published in 1900 by the Sunday School Board
In 1925, eighty people stepped out in faith to make the beginning of what is now Central. The church was originally located on College Avenue and called College Avenue Baptist Church. In 1949, the expanding congregation took the bold step to turn a vision into reality. Their vision was for a larger church building enabling them to reach more people in the community. With that move they renamed to "Central Baptist" as they were centrally located in the community. With the continued growth of the Bryan/College Station area, we expanded to our current location in 2003 on one hundred acres of land on what we now call home.
Through the years, the passion for Jesus and vision for people has been kept alive and thriving by the congregation of Central. Today we have over 3500 members. Growth has been exponential and continues today. More importantly, Central continues serving the Brazos Valley and beyond to reach people with the gospel of Jesus.
