The history of the Lord's Church in Morrison dates back to the settlers in Vervilla about 1800. Several people from various faiths were without a religious leader and simply turned directly to the Bible itself for their guide. By 1810 they were worshippingas one body, a church different from any they had known before, subscribing to no creed, and wearing no distinctive name. They called themselves "Christians" and the church only, "The Church of Christ." They learned, contrary to former belief and practice, that baptism was a burial and for the remission of sins, and began to practice it in that manner and for that purpose.

Of interest is a letter of recommendation written in 1818 to the Antioch Church in Alabama on behalf of one Elizabeth Brown, as follows: "State of Tennessee, Warren County, October 22, 1818. The Church of Christ at Philadelphia commends to the fellowship of the faithful in Christ Jesus our beloved Sister Elizabeth Brown, as a faithful member of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ." "Signed George Stroud/David Ramsey, Bishops."

In about 1832 a building, that still stands, was erected. This was probably the first Church of Christ in Warren County.

The brethren at Vervilla could see the need for congregations in Viola and Morrison, so in about 1895, a one-room framed building was erected in Morrison. This little frame building was used until about 1914 and then a building was erected out of concrete bricks, which were made on the grounds. Three classrooms were added and two restrooms. Every phase of the Lord's work continued to grow and the present building was completed in 1964.
