In 1961 CBC was started as Pietersburg Baptist Church in the home of Jack & Maysie Cross. The first years were difficult as the start of any work normally is. During the first 27 years 8 different pastors served the congregation over a period of 18 years in total. During this time the church bought the 7th day Adventist church that was situated at 42 Voortrekker Street. Later a small hall and a few classrooms were added.  This property was sold in 1994 to Suidskool. It was in 1989 that CBC started to evolve more and more into a team ministry as various roll players joined the church on  a full-time basis. Samaria Mission became a ministry of CBC in 1989 as well. In 1993 we purchased the present property from the town council. In 1996 we started to build phase 1 of the present facilities and moved onto this premise in March 1997. It was in the same year that we started Christ Seminary. In January 2004 phase 2 of our building was completed. We are at present planning for the next phase which will be a larger auditorium to accommodate our ongoing growth. We praise God for all the staff below that are looking after our ministries and premises.
