History

|
Cordova Community Baptist Church was first established when Alaska was a territory. It began in 1908 as a Presbyterian Church under the old comity agreement. The congregation voted to become American Baptist in 1950 when the number of missionaries serving in the hospital administered by American Baptist appeared to be increasing. An American Baptist pastor was called at that time and served with missionary status under the Home Mission Society. The hospital was transferred to the City of Cordova in the early 1970s and has remained under their administration since that time. Missionary nurses no longer serve in Cordova. The Christian Center was first begun in 1955 when the need for this ministry became apparent. National Ministries partners with the Center through White Cross to continue to provide for supply needs and often sends volunteers to help with ministry needs.
