Central Baptist Church

Waycross, GA

Who we Are

Central Baptist Church is not about a building but a body. A body of baptized believers called to unite as a local congregation.  In fact, the first official church meeting was not held in a sophisticated structure but a strikingly simple tent occupied in 1909. With spiritual vision and a colossal faith, those pioneers joined to form the group of Christians who have come to be known as Central Baptist Church. From a simple past, our church maintains a singular purpose to glorify God in all areas of life.
