Into the mid-19th century, pioneer families of the Fitzpatrick community lacked an established church nearby and took turns hosting Sunday morning worship services in their homes. In 1858, seven women of the community established "The Church of the Seven Sisters": Mrs. Phillips Bernard Baldwin (Martha Ann Thompson), Mrs. David Graves Fitzpatrick (Sara Ann Hooks), Mrs. John Campbell (Catherine Celia Hooks), Mrs. William Cicero Hufham (Nancy Henry Gholston), Mrs. Gordon Sanford Bunkley (Lucinda Morris Keene), Mrs. John William Templeton Reid (Celia Julia Fitzpatrick), and Mrs. Robert F. Ligon. Three of the sisters were Methodist, two were Baptist, one was Presbyterian, and one was Episcopalian, so the church was founded as a Methodist church. Albert G. Wray deeded one-and-one-half acres for the original building for one dollar. After the Montgomery and Eufaula railroad was built through Fitzpatrick in the 1870s, the church building was moved here from its nearby site. It was placed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1978.
