Bethel Methodist Church, located in Morristown, Tennessee, is listed for its association with African American heritage. Constructed in 1908 with a significant addition in 1951, the church retains integrity, despite its physical evolution, with respect to location, design, workmanship, feeling, and association. The property is also significant is its association with the "segregated" Methodist organization that lasted from 1939 to the merger in 1966 with the creation of the United Methodists.
