Enterprise Methodist in Terrell County is a fascinating site that, unfortunately, we have little information about. Small church congregations like this one once dotted the rural landscape and served their communities as central places to gather, worship, celebrate, mourn, and live out life in the country.  Places like this are so important to help us understand the full picture of Georgia’s history. And while we don’t have the whole story of Enterprise Methodist yet, we think it is important to hold this place to create a small memorial in hopes that more information will emerge. If you know anything about this church or the community of people it served, please comment below.  

This is either the 2nd church at this location or what is left of the original church that was bricked over when the church was rebuilt in 1948.  Unfortunately, the roofing material chosen was composite rather than tin.  This is a familiar story – the church gets remodeled with a composite roof.  At some point, the congregation can no longer support the church and it is left to the elements. Soon, the roof becomes compromised and the church eventually collapses.

The cemetery looks like it is being maintained somewhat.  According to  Find a Grave, there are 27 pre-1900 graves in the cemetery, with the oldest dated 1874.  There are 167 documented interments, and the most recent is dated 2012.
