Revival Baptist Church began its journey on March 29, 1982, when a group of members from Ebenezer Baptist Church felt inspired to establish a new congregation. The church held its first service on Sunday, March 21, 1982, in the home of one of its founding members. For about a month, services continued in this welcoming home until a donated auto garage was thoughtfully converted into a temporary worship space.

​

Alton Hood played a pivotal role in the church’s growth, generously donating two acres of land for the construction of a new building at its current location. This first dedicated church building was completed in August 1982, with the congregation celebrating its inaugural service on Sunday, September 5, 1982.

​

As the church flourished, the original building transitioned into a fellowship hall in 1996 when a new, larger church was constructed. This project was made possible by an additional one-acre donation from Alton Hood’s daughter, Lucille Coker, ensuring that Revival Baptist Church could continue serving its community for generations to come.
