Born out of the fires of a Wesleyan Methodist tent meeting, Ada Chapel has brought the message of holiness and sanctification to the community for 100 years. The church was named in honor of Rev. Ada White-Ramsey who was the first to bring the Wesleyan message to this part of Alabama. She and her husband, Pierce Clayton [P.C.] Ramsey, started the church in 1906.
