The First Baptist Church traces its roots to Bethany Baptist Church, formed in 1866. After Morrisville's incorporation in 1875, many members moved into the growing town and formed another church. The congregation chose the popular Gothic Revival style for a chapel erected in 1900 and adorned it with decorative sawn work like that seen on other houses in Morrisville. A brick veneer was added in the 1980s. One church member, Vallie Page Green, became a missionary to China beginning in 1891 and served until advancing Japanese military forces compelled her to leave in 1934.
