Established in 1832, Alpine Baptist is the oldest church in Talladega County which is in the Coosa River Baptist Association. We have continued to worship Jesus Christ and foster fellowship among those whom He has called into His family. From the Alpine Baptist Church, many other churches have come into existence.
Virginia planters, coming to Alabama territory, founded the church and their families and servants worshipped in the communion until the end of the civil war when black members established their own Church.
In the 1800's, Alpine Baptist Church gave more to missions than any Baptist Church in the State of Alabama. Also, in 1872, the building was relocated to its present site. The colonial wood frame building, with its high ceilings, green shutters, and antique clear glass windows, causes one to step back into history.
The resident membership remains small but is larger now than it has ever been. The congregation emphasizes teaching the Bible as it applies to everyday life. Emphasis is placed upon missions, especially as missions apply to helping the needy in our area. While the congregation is small, committed membership makes up for size.
Alpine's ministry has a positive focus. Emphasis is upon God's gracious love and care. Not only is the grace of God the center of congregational thinking, the development of graciousness in individual human life is focal.
