A Church Mindful of its Mission
History of Community Baptist Church
On March 3, 1963, Community Baptist Church was organized under the leadership of the late Reverend Wilmer Wright. We began having services in a barbershop at the corner of Willow Penn and Lakeland Avenue in Bristol, Pennsylvania. In 1965, due to the rapid growth of the church, the Lord blessed us and we moved to Beaver Dam Road and Van Dyke Street in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
The church was set a
part in 1966 with the aid of the late Reverend Isaac Ballard and New Bethlehem Baptist Church of Trenton, New Jersey. On March 2, 1987, Reverend Wilmer Wright retired after 24 years of faithful service as Pastor. In April 1987, Reverend Joseph R. Wright was installed as Pastor. That same year in August, we marched from our old place of worship to 1439 Ashby Avenue in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
Reverend Wilmer Wright was called to his eternal rest on December 24, 1988. Since the passing of our founding Pastor, the church has grown both physically and spiritually. He instilled in us many fond memories and touched many lives during his years of service to the church as well as the community.
On May 23, 1996, God truly blessed us to purchase ten acres on Durham Road in Langhorne, PA. As the Lord has led and guided the church to support the vision, our future development plans include a new sanctuary, fellowship hall, Christian nursery and daycare, senior care, and finally a community outreach center with adequate facilities for our children.
In April 2010 we sold our church at 1439 Ashby Avenue in Bristol Township. During the next two years as we made plans to build our 
new church, we worshipped in a local Fire Hall.
On September 14, 2011, our Pastor, Reverend Joseph R. Wright was called home to be with the Lord. He remained faithful to the principles of God’s word, as he served in his home, his church, and his community. Many ministries were established under his leadership and continue to flourish today.
In April of 2012, it was time to begin building, but due to the instability of the economy, we decided it was not the right time to build. But the Lord always has a plan for his people; he blessed us in August of 2012, to purchase our present church building, at 225 Radcliffe Street, Bristol, Pennsylvania. We remain strongly committed to our vision, which is to complete our future development plans.
On September 27, 2015, Reverend Joseph Randall Wright, the son of our late Pastor, was installed as Pastor of Community Baptist Church. To God be the Glory for the great things He has done.
