From the Alabama Historical Marker in front of the church;
"First United Methodist Church Enterprise
Earliest church in Enterprise
Organized in 1883 by 13 charter members as Carmichael Chapel of Elba Circuit, the congregation originally worshipped in a brush arbor on the NW corner of N. Main and Lee Streets. The first two sanctuaries built in 1883 and 1893 were both located on N. Main Street. One of the oldest structures in Enterprise, the present church on S. Main was built in 1903-4 and is a good example of the High Victorian Gothic style that was popular for church architecture around the turn-of-the-century."
