Chapel Hill Baptist celebrates 75 years

TUSCALOOSA ASSOCIATION

It was a bittersweet day as Chapel Hill Baptist Church, Northport, celebrated its 75-year anniversary Oct. 6. As members of the church celebrated the occasion it was hard to ignore who was missing — Pastor James Nichols, who died in April 2019.

“We honored those gone before and challenged those still here to continue the legacy of Chapel Hill,” said Rob Livingston, minister of education and children.

Former pastor Tim Patrick preached on “Rebooting the Church,” and minister of music Casey Speigner led the congregation in singing “music through the ages.” Special music was brought by the adult and children’s choir.

Angie Cooper presented a certificate from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission.

Photos of past church events and weddings, along with other church memorabilia, were on display. Lunch followed the service. John Pennington is interim pastor.
