Reedy Branch Free Will Baptist Church
Proudly serving our community since 1800
| 4457 Reedy Branch Road, Winterville, North Carolina 28590 |
Like a beacon of light, the white steeple
rises above the houses and stands amid
the treetops, speaking its silent message
to all who pass by. Night and day, it
can be seen from highways, fields and
forests—a sight compelling for all who
view it. Historic Reedy Branch Free
Will Baptist Church is a sentinel, a
legend, a landmark rich in history. With
the ink hardly dry on the Declaration of
Independence, hardy souls began
holding religious services at a location of
Reedy Branch, in what is now
Winterville Township, down the road
from Pitt Community College. Around
1800, a Free Will Baptist Church was
organized taking the name Reedy
Branch, since on the north side of the
church there was a branch or stream of
water overgrown by reeds. A church
built by a reedy branch! The branch, as
a result of modern drainage methods,
has long since disappeared, but Reedy
Branch Church still lives and flourishes.
It has served as “mother church” to
many other churches in the area.
