History of Morgan's Chapel

Morgan's Chapel has its birth in the mid-1920's when a group of Methodist men and women organized the first congregation.  When the doors were closed  in the 1960s, the building was abandoned.  In 1999, a group of Methodist men and women renovated and re-opened the church.  It was chartered as Morgan's Chapel United Methodist Church at 12:01 AM on January 1, 2000 and became the "First Church of the New Millennium".  We believe spiritual needs are met and lives enriched in a Christ-centered environment of prayer, love and fellowship.  If you are interested in a church membership, you may speak with the pastor.

Norman Brown, Pastor

I began as a youth minister in 1981

I graduated from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree in 1984 and served Southern Baptist churches as pastor until 2001. During that time, I also worked with two missionaries in the Quiana Roo jungle of Mexico in isolated Mayan villages.

I became a full-time chaplain for Covenant Hospice and also began my own business as a Florida Supreme Court certified Mediator for four years

I became a UMC pastor and then elder in 2005 serving various churches until June 2014.  During that time, I also served as a supply pastor at the English-speaking Peace Church in Munich, Germany.

Upon retirement I was appointed immediately by the bishop as a part-time retired elder to the two-point charge of Castleberry UMC/Baggett’s Chapel and retired from that charge on September 25, 2022, having served eight years.

Sue and I will celebrate our fiftieth wedding anniversary in October.

We have two children and six grandchildren.
