Our Church History
The first services were held on the second floor of the Galilee school near what is now West Second Street. The first pastor was Rev. Kelly Maddox, who served the church for about eight years. On May 22nd, 1890, a lot at Third and Morehead Streets was conveyed to the United Baptist Church by a deed signed by George L. Williamson and his wife to S.C. Gish, J.S. Hill, and J. Ham Helsley, the church’s trustees. In 1894, the first brick church was built under the leadership of Rev. R.H. Brengle. This church would later become what we know today as First Baptist Church, Central City.
Desiring to continue the tradition of commitment to the Great Commission, devotion to God’s Word, and being led by the Holy Spirit, First Baptist Church of Central City, KY seeks to be a church that is both culturally relevant and theologically sound – never compromising the things Jesus made essential to His Church in the New Testament.
