History :

For over one hundred forty years, Bethel Church has been ministering to the needs of the people of eastern Wilcox County, Alabama. Founded in 1856 by settlers who relocated to Oak Hill, Bethel Church continues a tradition of Associate Reformed Presbyterian influence on this area which dates to the 1820's. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church is the oldest Presbyterian denomination in America. Our beliefs are those found in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and in the Standards of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.
