Lakewood Baptist Mission

Lakewood Baptist Mission began as a dream in the heart of Brother Charles George. When Brother George moved to Lakewood Park in Beech Grove Tennessee, there was no Southern Baptist witness in the area. Having surrendered to the ministry 24 years earlier and having served as pastor in several churches, Bro. George now felt the Lord leading him to establish a church near       Lakewood Park.

    Bro. George began the work by holding prayer meetings in his home and  interest grew, services moved to a converted storage building. The next step was to find a church willing to sponsor a mission. Along with Salem Associational Missionary Thurman Seber, Bro. George approached the missions committee of Woodbury First Baptist, who recommended to the church that they sponsor a mission, calling Bro. George as pastor. Three acres of land were then purchased just outside Lakewood Park on Ferrell's Loop Road and a small office trailer was moved onto the property. The first service in the new Lakewood Baptist mission was held July 18, 1993.
