                                ST. JOHNS A.M.E. CHURCH


     St. Johns A.M.E. Church was organized at Morris, Georgia, in the middle 
1800's.  It is not known if meetings were first held in a bush arbor as they 
were in many of the churches in the area.

     The first pastor was the Reverend E. M. Roberts from Shellman, Georgia.  
His officers were:  Jim Billings, Adam Shingles, John Davis and Edgar Ware.

     The church was in operation until the merger with two other churches in 
1976.  The old church building still stands.
