We are a Primitive Baptist congregation located near Arab, AL. Why Primitive Baptist? In the early 1800’s, the Baptist family began to divide over new beliefs and new practices. Those in the family who began to adopt these new ideas were called new school and missionary Baptists. Those who continued to follow the original paths were called old school or primitive. And so, we are still called Primitive Baptists today, and we seek to be found continuing steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrine as the saints did in the early Church. We meet together as a congregation of men, women, boys and girls of all ages to sing, to pray, and to hear the word of God proclaimed and taught by our pastor and other elders. We find no greater joy than in seeing entire families worship and learn together. We are a people who rejoice in the message of salvation by grace and who want to honor the Lord with thanksgiving and praise. We recognize our need of God’s grace and mercy in our daily lives. We believe the Church is a place of rest for the Lord’s people, a place to worship, and a place of refuge from the storms of life. We hope that you will visit us and will find Rocky Mount Church to be just such a place.

Rocky Mount Church was established on July 28, 1882 and belongs to the Mt. Zion Association of Primitive Baptists. We do not have an earthly headquarters, but look to this association of churches to encourage fellowship and visitation among those of like faith and practice.
