A "Daughter" of Wesley Chapel (later, the First United Methodist Church), Collins Chapel was organized in 1841 and purchased this site in 1859. Named for its first pastor, J.T.C. Collins, it predates the formation of the CME denominations. Collins Chapel operated the Collins Chapel Hospital and hosted the conference which approved the establishment of the periodical, The Christian Index.
Erected by Tennessee Historical Commission
Collins Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1991.
