Elizabeth Baptist Church

The Elizabeth Baptist Church has a long and interesting history. Throughout its 113 years of Christian service, the Church has steadily grown in membership and its determination to truly be the house of God. The year 1888 will forever be a red letter day for Tuscaloosa, for it was the year in which Elizabeth Baptist had its beginning under the leadership of the Reverend Lucious Jones as its first pastor. Remembering the Lord’s words, “where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them”, 25 eager Christians imbued with love and hope of our Lord founded the Elizabeth Baptist Church.
