About the Church:

Rehobeth Baptist was established in 1819 and is now home to approximately 80 members. For almost 200 years, Rehobeth Baptist has enjoyed a rich tradition of proclaiming Jesus as Savior, and meeting the needs of the people in our community, as well as surrounding communities.

The wood-framed church building that once housed the sanctuary of Rehobeth Baptist was constructed in 1912. At the bottom of the gable roof, a lighted sign greeted visitors with the acknowledgment that "God is Love".

In 2006, the sanctuary building was destroyed by fire. A new church facility was built next to the existing fellowship hall which was unharmed by the fire.

A journalist once said, "You know you're in rural Alabama when the road sign says 'Pavement Ends'". Just off of a road such as this, you will find Rehobeth Baptist Church. The community of Lawley is located 50 miles southwest of Birmingham, Alabama in Bibb County. Bibb County has a population of approximately 22,000.
