Community Baptist Church of Greater Milwaukee was founded on December 9, 1977 in the home of Pastor Roy B. and Sis. Betty J. Nabors, along with four couples who elected Rev. Nabors pastor, and Rev. Roosevelt Savage, Sr., assistant minister. The first worship service was held in the LaVarnway Boys and Girls Club, which was to be followed by worship service being held in five different locations. In 1982, Community church members were blessed with the edifice they occupy today at 2249 N. Sherman Blvd. Rev. Roy B. Nabors retired from Community on January 1, 2009. However, before retiring, Rev. Nabors selected Rev. Demetrius K. Williams and trained him for two years. And on January 2, 2009, Rev. Williams was named the second pastor in the church’s history. Rev. Williams is married to First Lady Robin Williams. They have two children, Demetria, 11 and Demetrius 9. -Photos by Sis. Anita Scott and CBC Ministry Team
