Church History

Twin City Baptist (TCB) of Lunenburg, MA began in 1974 with four people when Pastor A. Erven Burke, his wife, Carolyn Sue and their two sons, Craig and Nathan, moved to Leominster from Bangor, Maine. Services began in the Leominster Odd Fellows Hall and continued there until the purchase of 27.5 acres in Lunenburg when a 19,000 square foot building was erected. An additional 188 acres of land was purchased in 1988.

In 1977 the church began Twin City Christian School with 85 students. The school provides an alternative for parents who want their children educated in a Christian environment, being taught by God-fearing Christian teachers. Today the school is fully accredited by the American Association of Christian Schools and enrolls approximately 200 students in preschool through grade twelve. On November 11, 1984, the church officially opened their second building, a 1,000 seat auditorium.

On February 26, 1996, the church began WCMX radio, AM 1000, "Where Christ's Majesty is eXalted" or "Hope 1000". Christian programming can be proclaimed within a 40 mile radius of the Leominster/Lunenburg area (including 1.3 million people). Later that same year, a daycare opened on the property to allow working parents the peace of mind of having Christian people caring for their little ones.

In 2004, a third building, the Larson Family Life Center was completed. This building houses a full gymnasium enjoyed by all for both school and church activities. The building is also home to the Twin City Christian Early Education Center (infant through Pre-school). These buildings help the church fulfill the the goal of reaching more for Christ and enable the ministries of the church to thrive. Ministries in the church are designed to reach all ages and include Master's Club (previously Brigade Boys and Pioneer Girls) on Wednesday evenings, Sunday School classes for all ages, and adult Bible Fellowship/Study classes.
