At different times, the North Alabama Conference placed Ford's Chapel on the Meridianville, the Madison, and the Toney Circuits. Today we are the Ford's Chapel Church. In 1870, the original building was deteriorating. The members razed the old building. However, when they reached the floor joists they stopped - for here they found fourteen-inch hand-hewn Oak timbers. This building is resting on the joists of the first building. The new building was a white clapboard church and under the very ancient and stately Oaks, looked beautiful.
