On December 27, 1960, the following members of the Second Baptist Church living in Tabernacle, New Jersey, asked for their letters to form a Church in Tabernacle. They were Rosa Chambers, Susie Legrande, Florence Jones, Mildred Johnson, Lucile Hopkins, Dorothy Legrande, Elizabeth Barry, and Algin Grant. In July 1961 they were set apart as a Church. On November 1, 1961, a new title was laid.

In May of 1964, Reverend W. I. Wright was called from labor to reward after many fruitful years in the service of the Lord, thus ending his leadership from 1936 to 1964.

Reverend L. Earl Tolbert served from 1964 to 1969. Under his leadership, the church, seeing the inevitable need for expansion, purchased property adjacent to its parsonage on Federal Street. A commercial building on the property was immediately renovated to serve as the education, recreation, and all purpose facility of the church. This building was dedicated to God’s Service in memory of the much loved late Pastor, Reverend W. I. Wright.

 Organization of the Advisory Board contributed significantly to the efficacious handling of the Church’s Administrative responsibilities.

In June of 1970, the Reverend J. H. Tucker was called as the twenty-first Pastor of the Second Baptist Church. Altar Call was introduced to the Church at the time. 

The Christian Crusade Choir was organized and other choirs were reactivated, adding to the service of the faithful Senior Choir. Construction of the Church Library was begun with a view of providing the membership with a reservoir of resource literature which would enhance academic and spiritual growth.

In September 14, 1973, under the leadership of our Interim Pastor Reverend James M. Wiltshire, the Church adopted its constitution, In November of 1975, the Reverend Frederick C. Johnson assumed the pulpit of Second Baptist Church, having accepted the call to the Pastorate.

During the Pastorate of Reverend Johnson the Church purchased nearly fifteen acres of land at 950 Jacksonville Road in Burlington, NJ, which Trustee Johnathan Harris was instrumental in initiating. Construction of the new Church edifice on that property was completed in October of 1989 and we moved into our new building on the first Sunday of December of that same year.

Our Church name was appended at the January 19, 1998 church meeting, to Christ Baptist Church, The Second Baptist Church of the City of Burlington.
