Missions-Fueled Faith: What Makes Central Baptist Special?
Plenty of churches support missions. But Central Baptist Church Center Texas has built its entire identity around the Great Commission.
Each year, the church gives generously to missionaries on multiple continents. But it doesn’t stop with writing checks. This church prays for its missionaries, stays connected to their needs, and gets personally involved in the work. That’s how our family became part of this incredible movement.
As a missionary-minded family, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with Central Baptist Church. From Sunday School classrooms to pulpit time, this congregation takes its calling seriously—and it shows.
If you ask the average member of Central Baptist where Ghana is, chances are they’ll not only know—it’s on their prayer list.
From Center, TX to West Africa: Our Journey
You might be wondering, “What does a church in Center, Texas have to do with church planting in Ghana?” That’s where our story begins.
Our family answered the call to support missionary efforts in West Africa, and we didn’t do it alone. Central Baptist Church Center Texas was right behind us, cheering us on, praying without ceasing, and helping us pack gospel tracts into our suitcases.
This church didn’t just talk about missions—they sent us. They invested in training pastors through the Hope of Africa Baptist Ministry. They supported mission trips that changed lives and built churches—brick by brick, soul by soul.

Real People. Real Churches. Real Impact.
The impact of Central Baptist Church Center Texas isn’t hypothetical—it’s personal.
We’ve watched firsthand as young men in Ghana, trained through Bible Institutes, went out to start churches in their own villages. These aren’t mega-churches with light shows and fog machines. These are open-air services under mango trees, with chickens clucking in the background and souls hungry for truth.
Back home, it’s the faithful giving of Central Baptist Church members that helps fund these efforts. It’s the Sunday School classes who adopt a missionary family and send hand-written notes of encouragement. It’s the youth group that skips a pizza night so they can donate to missions instead.
Real impact doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens when a local church steps into God’s global plan.
