Description
Big Sandy Baptist Church was the Tuscaloosa News Feature Church on September 25, 1970.
"Big Sandy Baptist Church is located on the Old Highway 69, 10 miles south of Tuscaloosa. The Church was founded prior to 1857, for at that time it was accepted into the Tuscaloosa County Association of Baptist Churches.
Since that early date, Big Sandy has grown with the community, and has indeed been the leader in the growth of the community in many respects.
The beautiful red brick structure that houses the congregation stands as both a symbol and a reality of peace and worship to God. Since 1966, when the present building was completed, the members have harbored dreams of building a bigger and more efficient educational building.
Big Sandy has grown in membership, and presently lists over 250 members. The buildings have grown from log cabins to the air-conditioned, carpeted sanctuary with a seating capacity of nearly 350. But even more importantly, the fellowship of the church body, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, has become one of the greatest in any locality.
The present pastor, Revered Winfred Easley, moved to this community in June, and extends a cordial welcome to those who will come and worship the Lord with us."
