Our team
Senior Pastor
Pastor Chris Tomlin began working in the ministry over 20 years ago in music, youth, and bus ministries. In 2002, he and his wife, Charity, started a church in their home in Memphis, TN. In 2009, the Lord moved them to Central where he served as a youth worker, Sunday school teacher and deacon. In June of 2013, the Lord opened the door for Chris to become the senior pastor. Pastor Tomlin has a love for the Word of God and the work to which God has called him. Charity has served in many capacities at Central Baptist School. She currently teaches 5th grade and is the church secretary. The Tomlins have three children-Isaac, Drew, and Grace. >> EMAIL PastorTomlin<<
