ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH

   Antioch Baptist Church was organized August 10, 1893. Rev. R. Bullington
preached the organization sermon. The group entered into a conference and
elected A. C. Fulghum clerk. The charter members were: Sarah Foster, W. J.
Pirkle and wife, J. T. Stephens, Catherine Stephens, J. L. Stephens and wife, B.
F. Bracewell, H. D. Vaughn, A. C. Fulghum and wife. Fellowship was the name
given the church. After a few years some became dissatisfied with the name and
it was changed to Antioch.

   The services were held under an arbor for three or four years before a house
was erected. In 1927 the house was torn down and a new one built near Pulaski
High School. The new church was dedicated Sunday, May 30, 1928. Rev. W. D.
Ogletree was pastor at this time. Antioch was in the Little River Association
until the Pulaski-Bleckley Association was formed, and was one of the first to
join this new Association. One preacher has gone out from Antioch, Rev. Lewis
Bullington. He became a member in July, 1903, by experience.

   This Antioch is not to be confused with Old Antioch, near Fountain's Mill.
Old Antioch was dissolved a few years after New Antioch was constituted. Part of
her members came to the new church. The church is one of the best equipped
churches in Pulaski-Bleckley Association. It has four classrooms in its teaching
department, a W. M. S. and a large Sunday school.
