History

1953	The Ekron Baptist Church was organized June 26, 1904.  Soon after a church was constructed at a cost of $1,676.41.       In 1953 under the leadership of the pastor, Rev. John Norman, plans were completed and Sunday School rooms were built at the back of the church at a total cost of $4,051.57.
1965	On February 28, 1965, the church voted to construct a new building at a cost of $85,100.  The building was completed in November 1965 at a total cost of $94,000 including furnishings.  On November 14, 1965, the dedication sermon by Dr. David Moore climaxed the planning of Pastor Earl Davis and a dedicated fellowship of believers.
Christian Life Center 2001	Under the leadership of our present pastor, Charles Blanc, and after many months of planning and praying, the All Purpose Christian Life Center was dedicated October 14, 2001.  This new addition to our church is designed for worship, recreation, receptions, walking track, and many other church related activities.  For many years, we had no ground floor restrooms.  Now, including the new Connector Building, we have four ground floor restrooms.  On Easter, 2003, there were 467 worshippers in the Christian Life Center.  "To God be the glory, great things He has done!"
