Last year the church began the tradition of the Living Christmas Tree. This year we expand on it with a new drama, "Home for Christmas."
This dramatic musical event for the entire family will be presented December 5-7, 2008 at 7:00 p.m., with an additional matinee performance on Sunday at 3:00 p.m.

Featuring the adult choir (Abba’s Army), youth choir (David Generation), actors, dancers, Broadway style set, and a 32-foot tall Christmas tree with over 10,000 lights, this will be a Christmas you will never forget.
This year’s program will introduce a moving story about angels, miracles, and most importantly, JESUS.

Founded in 1951, the church was started after fire destroyed Hixson First Baptist. According to records kept by Elsie Welch, one of the charter members, the founders were strongly convicted of the need to start a centrally located church in the heart of the growing community of Hixson. “…this new building, which now has only a fully equipped and modern basement, is the beginning of what is to be one of the most modern church buildings in the community, planned with the future growth of Hixson and the church in mind.”  That dream has come true, as Abba’s House not only houses the area’s first high definition television production facility, but also is host to concerts, conferences and other gatherings for artists and ministries throughout the nation.

In 1979, the church called Ron Phillips as Senior Pastor, a position he still holds today.  In addition to the local outreach to Chattanooga, Ron Phillips Ministries broadcasts a weekly international television program and a daily 15 minute radio show.

Over the years, Central Baptist has grown and changed and even taken on a new name, Abba’s House.  Through the years, a great many people have contributed to the life of Abba’s House.  To celebrate the anniversary, all members and former members are invited to come to Homecoming at Abba's House to see all that God has done in the last 57 years.

The celebration begins at 10:30 a.m. with the main worship service.  At noon, all the LIfeGroups (Sunday School) will tailgate and picnic together.  There will be plenty of food for all guests and former members.

At 1:30 p.m., the celebration will move back inside the worship center for an afternoon of music with Sonlife and Testimony Quartet.  There will be no evening service that night.
