Description
Alberta Baptist Church was featured as the Feature Church in the Tuscaloosa News on September 26, 1969. The minister at this time was Dr. Thomas E. Halsell.
" The Alberta Baptist Church was organized in March, 1921 with eleven charter members. Until recent years, a goodly number of these members continued to reside in the Alberta area. Death has claimed the lives of all but two of the original members. During these forty-eight years ten pastors have served the church, two of which were interim pastors.
The Alberta Baptist Church is known to be a peoples' church with good attendance to a balanced program of Christian activities.
The church has a growing missionary outreach. The Eastern Hills Baptist Church, constituted last June 1, was started and sponsored by Alberta. A Mission Sunday School is conducted each week at Partlow State School. Gifts to missions exceed twenty-five thousand dollars each years.
The Christian education activities include Sunday School, Training Union, Missionary Groups and a full music ministry. During the summer a Vacation Bible School, recreation program, camps, special music classes and choir tours are included in the program of activities."
