Antioch Baptist Church Keeps Frontier Roots Amid Modern Additions
The Antioch Baptist Church near Priceville is the second oldest Baptist church in North Alabama south of the river. The old log structure under a brick addition remains sturdy with heavy oak timbers, while a 1960s expansion added a basement nine classrooms and modern heating. Members moved the building on rollers onto concrete pillars and completed a basement, reflecting a blend of frontier heritage and contemporary needs.
