Centennial Baptist Church, Protestant church building in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas.
The church features two towers flanking a central gable, with Gothic arched openings and tripled lancet windows separated by buttresses at the entrance.
The Centennial Baptist Church, constructed in 1905 and designed by congregation member Henry James Price, received National Historic Landmark status in 2003.
Under Elias Camp Morris's leadership from 1879, the church served as headquarters for the National Baptist Convention and influenced African-American Baptist organizations.
The structure sustained extensive damage during the Easter tornado outbreak of 2020, altering its physical condition and accessibility to visitors.
The church remains the only standing structure connected to Elias Camp Morris, who served as president of the National Baptist Convention from 1895 to 1922.
