Our purpose is to know Christ & make Him known.  That's not just the purpose of our church. It's God's intended purpose for all people everywhere to know His love though Jesus and to spread that love to all people.

In the gospel we meet a God who has acted decisively in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus to redeem and restore people to Himself. Jesus lives the life we could not live, dies the death that we deserve to die, and is raised from the dead and revealed to be the King over all creation. This was no arbitrary event in history; it is the decisive moment. The gospel tells the whole story of Biblical history and how God has acted decisively in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus to redeem the world for His glory. Preaching the gospel means showing how Jesus is the fulfillment and goal of every biblical text.

OUR HISTORY

Cowarts Baptist Church, located in Cowarts, Alabama, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1885. The church was established when a group separated from the congregation of Smyrna Baptist Church. Initially situated beside the Cowarts Cemetery, the original structure was destroyed by fire in the 1890s. Undeterred, the congregation rebuilt and dedicated a new building on May 1, 1903, in front of the existing Cowarts School. Tragically, on January 10, 1918, a devastating cyclone struck the area, destroying both the church and the school. Despite this setback, the church was rebuilt beginning in March 1918 and has remained on the site ever since. Today, Cowarts Baptist Church continues to serve as a beacon of faith and community in Cowarts.
