Swift Presbyterian Church History
Cornelia Roberts had a dream
At the turn of the 20th century, in the waning years of the Victorian Era, Sandy Creek was a small but bustling community without a church. Most of the settlers who lived in the area worked for the logging operation owned by George Robinson and managed by C.A. Swift.
It was to this community that Mr. Swift brought his bride, Mobile native Susie P. Roberts. It wasn’t long before several members of her family, including Byard Roberts, Mrs. G.E. Gavin and her sister, Miss Cornelia Roberts, came to settle here as well.
Miss Cornelia desperately missed her church. On Sunday, she and the family youngsters would walk up the hill to the spot where our church now stands and she would tell them of her dream of building a church someday.
As the logging operation around Sandy Creek began to play out, many of the settlers moved away, but Miss Cornelia’s dream remained strong. In 1905, her dream began to take shape with land and lumber donated by C.A. Swift and gifts and donations from other relatives and friends.
The building was completed in 1907, and originally named “The Little Church in Piney Woods.” Three years later, Swift Church was formally organized by the Presbytery of Mobile. Miss Roberts was elected to serve as deaconess of the church, which bears the name of its primary benefactor.
The congregation of Swift Presbyterian Church has grown over the years and constructed a new sanctuary, but our beloved little wooden church with a deep, rich history still stands and functions as an alternate chapel.
