Euharlee Baptist Church in Bartow County
It was established sometime before 1840 as Mount Paran Baptist Church. The early records were lost in a house fire. Due to its membership in the Coosa Association, it is known to be active in the 1840s. It is associated with Euharlee Baptist Church Cemetery and the old graves date to 1818. In 1852 the main structure of the sanctuary was constructed. A legend says the building was hit by a tornado which basically split the church in two. The church floor used metak to reconnect the two sections and for years the floor was uneven. In 1898, the name was changed to Euharlee Baptist Church and at times additional rooms and a new single porch was added. Today, the church is still active in the same 1852 sanctuary.
