Morris Baptist Church was established in 1900 and this structure appears to be contemporary to that date. It is the last active landmark in the hamlet of Morris, southeast of Georgetown and Lake Walter F. George (Lake Eufaula), not far from the Alabama state line off US Highway 82.
Union Church was organized as non-denominational house of worship in 1837, about a mile from the present location. A second structure was built across the road from the present location and used until 1867 when this church was built. The exact date the church became affiliated with the Methodists is unknown.
During Georgetown’s early years, Methodists and Baptists shared the Community Church. This structure was built for the Methodist congregants by Albert N. Surles between 1901-1902 and has served them ever since.
