==History==
The church was established on 14 November 1875 by Rev. W. W. Campbell, a Baptist missionary. The first member of the congregation was Richard B. Clayburn, who was baptized on 5 December 1875. The first native pastor Bezwada Paul was appointed in 1895. The foundation stone for the existing new church structure was laid by Rev I. F. Knoll on 14 November 1975 during the ministry of Rev Karra Devadanam, exactly 100 years after the first structure was built. The church was appropriately named Centenary Baptist Church. The groundbreaking however took place five years later in the year 1980. The new sanctuary was completed and consecrated by Rev. G. Solomon on 17 February 1991. It took more than 10 years to build the existing structure.
The church now operates 35 branch churches and 15 gospel centers in around the cities of Secunderabad and Hyderabad.〔
Now the present pastor is Nalla Thomas. He succeeded Rev.G.Solomon who in turn succeeded Rev. Karra. Devedanam.
