A look back through the history of Fellowship Bible Baptist Church
Buzzell Village
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Lord led a young man, Willie L. Reid Sr. from Eatonton, Geor-gia to establish a place of worship. After two weeks of searching, he found Building 10 in Buzzell Village in Warner Robins, GA and on February 10, 1980, the first church service was held there. Within a six month pe-riod, the new congregation outgrew that building and had to move into a larger building in the same village.
Marching to ‘Building A’
In 1981, the small congregation purchased 10 acres of land on Dunbar Road. All of this was done through tithes, of-ferings and the many sacrifices of the 25 members at the time. On May 1, 1983, Pastor Reid and his faithful members moved into their new sanctuary (now known as the Gen-esis Center). An educational wing was later added in 1984.

FBBC Choir
In September 1993, Fellowship opened a Christian Academy for K-3 through 8th Grade and in November 1994, bought the Thomas Elementary School building at 801 Watson Boulevard. This building was sold to the City of Warner Robins in 2002. In March 1998, Fellow-ship purchased forty-eight acres of land and included with the property was a small house. The house was renovated and dedicated to the memory of Nece Hop- son on January 23, 2000.
Faith Dome Ribbon Cutting
In 2003, ground was broken on a new Fellowship Hall (now known as the Willie L. Reid, Multi-purpose Build-ing) and was completed in September 2004. The Fellow-ship Community Student Center, built in 2003, serves as an outreach tool for the community and houses various church functions. In 2003, Pastor Reid cast the vision for a new dome sanctuary and in 2008 the FBBC family broke ground for this dome project. On January 16, 2011, Fellowship marched into the ‘Faith Dome.’ After many years of faithful service, God called our beloved founder to heaven to be with the Lord on May 4, 2012.
Pastor Tolan and First Lady Laneen Morgan
In February 2015, Pastor Morgan was called to pastor Fellowship Bible Baptist Church. Under his leadership, ‘The Ship’ has grown not only numerically but spiritual-ly. The various ministries here at ‘The Ship’ make an ef-fort to reach outside our four walls to meet the needs of those in our community. We thank God for the work He has done in and through Fellowship Bible Baptist Church and with God’s help ‘The Ship’ will keep on sailing.
