Methodist Episcopal Church of Douglassville

Area Methodists established a church on this site in 1856, shortly after the founding of Douglassville.

Chappell, S. L. Easley, J. E. Morris, W. L. and B. G. Heath, R. A. Brooks, T. J. Wilson, and J. H. Snipes. The trustees purchased land for the parsonage in 1870. The present building, erected in 1908, was remodeled and enlarged in 1947.
