History

Our church was 'born' during a tent revival in 1941, first known as Pearl City Baptist Church and located in a section of Pearl that would later become Flowood. As this new community grew and prospered, the church's name was changed to match the community. Over the next fifty years of growth and renovation, it became a landmark of Flowood Drive. As the industry around the church developed, the highway department disclosed its plans to 4-lane Highway 468 (Flowood Drive), the lanes of which just so happened to be drawn right through the center of Flowood Baptist's auditorium. The church was forced to seek a new location.

After much prayer and long searches, it was learned that several acres were available on Old Fannin Road in a fast-growing residential area of Flowood. Plan were drawn, construction begun, and our new multi-purpose building emerged. This new auditorium worship space also serves as fellowship space with a good-sized kitchen

for dinners and other activities. There was, at first, adequate classroom space in this new facility; but fortunately, we soon outgrew it. Plans were set and our new Educational building was built. It contains adult classrooms and our Fellowship Hall.

Even with the new addition, we still do not have enough room. So in August 2011, we voted for an architect to go forward with a 3D design of our new Sanctuary. We feel that this is God's exciting plan for our church.

The new addition will be our permanent Sanctuary to worship our wonderful Lord and Savior as the old will be remodeled to meet the needs of our overflowing classrooms. The plans are to remove the house on the hill, that currently serves as the church office, and add Handicap parking for the front of the new Sanctuary as well as additional parking around and a drop off area in the front of the building. We encourage you to come be apart of the excitement at Flowood Baptist Church as we continue to grow, build and share with others the message of Jesus Christ.
