Alapaha United Methodist Church, Circa 1882

The date for the organization or building of this church is not known, but the property for the present location was deeded in 1882. In the…beginning, there were few male members, so the lady stewards went from store to store asking for donations to pay the preacher on each “preaching day.”

A Woman’s Missionary Society began in 1933. In the 1940s, an annex was built from lumber purchased from the old Baptist church as it was torn down. In the 1950s, a tornado damaged the sanctuary and so it was remodeled.
