In 1915 the basement of the new church was completed and a large tabernacle was erected just back of the basement and was used as a meeting place. The church building was finished by faith in 1919.
In 1944 an educational building was built on the the back of the auditorium for additional room for nursery, pre-school and church office.
The auditorium we meet in today was started in 1958 and completed in 1959.
From an humble beginning over 108 years ago with seven charter members, the church has had many high points and a few low ones as well. However, God has used North Cleburne Baptist Church to proclaim the Word of God and be involved in missions at home and all around the world. Many people have been ministered to over the past 108 years and many needs have been met by one of the most loving churches ever.
Many ministers, youth minister, music and children’s ministers have come through and have grown, many while working on seminary degrees.
Before Irving School moved locations to the country, we thought about moving locations and relocating because the town had moved away from us. But one day while we were praying on the sidewalk for the school, we asked God to show us who we could minister to if we stayed were we were, and the fire alarm went off at the school for a drill and all the kids came out of all the doors of the school and God gave us an answer.
We have a growing children’s ministry, youth ministry and senior adult ministry. Striving now to grow the young adults. Our worship services are informal, yet worshipful with an atmosphere that includes Bible centered messages, interactive music from contemporary to praise to old-fashioned favorites.
