History

Cochran Field Christian Academy was established in 1970 as a segregation academy.[3][4] It was one of six new private schools founded in Bibb County in 1970. The number of private schools in Bibb County peaked at 23 in the late 1980s.[5]

In 1979, its sponsor church, Cochran Field Baptist Church, merged with Grace Baptist Church to form Central Fellowship Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia. The school name was changed to Central Fellowship Christian Academy.
