Our History
A 157-Year Journey of Faith
The church was organized in 1868 as Old Pine Bluff Baptist Church. They held services there until they decided to build a new church. In 1901 Rev. A. O. Robinson led the congregation to this location. The church name was changed to Peek’s Chapel Baptist Church. Mr. W. L. Peek, a kind and generous man living in the community donated land to build a church and supported the church in finance.
Fourteen Pastors have served during these 157 years. The late Rev. J. H. Battle was our longest serving pastor. He served for 40 years.
