Central Baptist Church

I love my church. The people are the friendliest, caring people you can find anywhere. God is there always.

If you are looking for authenticity among broken and imperfect people that are followers of Jesus Christ, this is the place!
After years of Bible thumping and scripture memorization, I have found the place that makes it all come alive.
Central Baptist teaches you how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and how to share the great news of salvation effortlessly!
A must visit- IT WILL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE!!!

Good place

In the sleepy little town I grew up in, I attended the old Central Baptist Church that used to be on main street near downtown Crandall in a small, but well-loved old church. I attended there from when I was born until I began high school in Mesquite. I played guitar and sang for the congregation at the old church on occassion and helped with things like puppet shows for the few younger kids who attended, and helped with vacation bible school when I became too old to attend it as a student. I have extremely fond, and good memories of my days there.
THE NEW CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH is located on the way out of Crandall on FM 148. It has ALL the amenities of a modern house of worship, plus a few awesome things you may not expect.
A complete basketball gymnasium for starters (complete with a team that competes in a basketball league), and perhaps some tumbling classes for strong young energetic kids...that is when the Covid 19 virus isn't a damping factor on the fun.
The church has a very large main congregation hall (plenty of room for social distancing) with a state-of-the-art sound system and instruments for the musicians. The church has every possible thing to keep the young-uns entertained, busy and learning. There is even an electronic gaming room with other attractions in there I won't reveal (you'll have to go check it out).
There are lots of Sunday school rooms/classes from nursery and kindergarten to young adult, adult, and senior.
Since the church added on with a new main hall and offices the old main part of the church is now useful for various purposes, and even some special events.
The music is mostly modern, lively, and inspirational. In some cases shows and music are professionally performed by outside special guests, and also an inside special guest, the new music director who I recently heard performing, and can assure you he's terrific (what a great voice he has, and what a fantastic pianist he is). Central Baptist really found a gem. I'm a musician, so I have special appreciation for excellence in music.
The preacher CHARLES WILSON, is also relatively new to Central Baptist. You can tell he's a new world man who can give some old-school sermons. I think that's a great ability, and something we could all use more of these days, during these times when our faith is contantly being tested from all sides. MR. WILSON is also one of the nicest, and most sincere pastors, and people you'll ever meet.
The members of the congregation are welcoming and friendly, and the food is great at CBC...when you can get the great ladies in-charge of cooking and feeding large groups inspired to get into the church kitchen and work with the passion of a French chef. Those ladies are wonderful at at their skill, and often under appreciated. I for one LOVE THEM... and the people and employees of CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Crandall, TX. 75114.

When my son had cancer the pastor, and the associate pastor, and the deacons joined our family in holding a healing ceremony asking God to heal my son. This was held during Sunday service at the normal invitation time. What a beautiful ceremony. I dont think there was a dry eye in the audience!! The kindness and concern on the part of the pastor and the staff was amazing!!
