Elyton Baptist Church (1832)

Elyton Baptist Church (1832) was a congregation established in March 1832 by T. M. Cox and Philip Archer in the town of Elyton. Cox served as pastor of the church for its first year. He was succeeded by Hosea Holcombe, T. D. Armstrong, and Joseph Byers.

In his A History of the Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Alabama,, Holcombe quoted a statement that, "The brethren here are weak and are solicitious [sic] that travelling preachers in passing should give them a call. For they have evidently planted the standard of the Cross upon the ramparts of infidelity."

Elyton Baptist Church dissolved by the end of the 1830s.
