The Tennesseeans traveling from Marlin crossed wild trails to Little River where they rejoiced on arrival. After a supper, the cane-break preacher Morrell gave thanks and preached his first sermon on Central Texas soil.
Morrell and eight families settled at Falls of the Brazos in Falls County, Texas, building frontier forts amid Indian attacks. The Little River Church emerged in 1849 with mixed congregation, arbor revival meetings, and stern social order including separate gendered church entrances. The Little River Association formed in 1855 with eleven churches, and the two story brick church operated until its 1907 farewell.
The church, rebuilt after the 1938 demolition of the old structure and turned into a Sunday School annex, now features a carpeted pulpit and Venetian blinds. Reverend Stanley Ray of Baylor University became the regular pastor this year.
