ROBINSON SPRINGS

At the begining of 1800's missionaries were preaching the gospel to Indians in the Robinson Springs and Coosa Valley area. Settlers at large were admitted into the area around 1817.
Settlers from Rocky Mount, Coosada, Elmore, Spiegner, Deatsville, Dutch Bend and Robinson Springs gathered for non denominational services in two log assembly houses near Robinson Springs.
At the time, 1828-1830, the Methodist Protestant Church came into being A few persons appreciating the democratic form of it's government, established a church at Robinson Springs, which was erected of two log assembly houses, about one mile east of the present church on the road to Elmore.
As Methodist Protestant, the Robinson Springs worshipers came under the leadership of the Rev. Peyton Bibb, brother of the first two governors of the State of Alabama.
The Sanctuary was completed in 1845. The building is Colonial in design. The church plans are in the Library of Congress in Washinghton D.C.
