Area Methodists established a church on this site in 1856, shortly after the founding of Douglassville. It replaced arbors and campgrounds as the center of worship and was first served by circuit riders. The Board of Trustees, including R. P. Rutland, A. H. Chappell, S. L. Easley, J. E. Morris, W. L. and B. G. Heath, R. A. Brooks, T. J. Wilson, and J. H. Snipes, bought the land from Williamson Petty. The trustees purchased land for the parsonage in 1870. The present building was erected in 1908 and was remodeled and enlarged in 1947.
