Historic Honey Grove Churches
In 1855 four congregations purchased land for the building of the Union Church. The Union Church was owned by the Methodists, Baptists, Christians, and the Cumberland Presbyterians. Each of the denominations had one Sunday each month for services.
Each of these denominations, and others, built beautiful churches in Honey Grove, several of which remain.

Information on other Fannin County churches is on the Fannin County Historical Commission website.

From the Honey Grove Signal, December 6, 1918
No Church Service Sunday
The pastors or officials of three of the churches were conferred with yesterday and said there would be no service at their churches Sunday on account of the influenza situation. Another pastor was out of town and could not be seen, but the Signal feels warranted in making the announcement that no service will be held at any of the Honey Grove churches Sunday.
According to John Black's Pictorial History of Honey Grove, the Honey Grove Bible Class had Sunday school at the City Hall each Sunday, about 1924-1926. The names in the book are below:
