Liberty Methodist Church, which evolved out of a Methodist society organized about 1775, is Georgia's oldest Methodist church. The original log church was erected west of here by Samuel Collins, who had emigrated from Ireland in 1773. The present church building is the third on the site and was probably erected about 1810. The first church was called the Sam Collins or S.C. Church. It began ten years before the traditional date for the beginning of organized Methodism in Georgia. Bishop Frances Asbury visited the church on March 1, 1790.
