The story of Panther Creek Free Will Baptist Church began over a century ago with a simple, quiet faith. In the late 1800s, families in the Wicksburg area gathered along the banks of Panther Creek, driven by a desire to plant a spiritual flag in the Alabama soil. Those early days were defined by humble "brush arbor" meetings and small gatherings in farmhouses—a community of believers leaning on each other and the Word of God to navigate the challenges of rural life.
For generations, we were the small church with the white siding and the big heart, serving as a steady anchor for the families of the Wiregrass.
