The church was deemed significant architecturally as a "fine example of a church built in the Classical Revival Style exemplified by the use of a full entablature and portico."[2] It is also notable for its association with one of the county's oldest Methodist churches, and for its namesake Sam P. Jones.[2]
It is named for Sam Jones (1847–1906)—a native of Oak Bowery, Alabama, who lived in Cartersville from the age of twelve and is buried in Cartersville—an evangelist who preached across the United States. After his sudden death during the construction of their new church, the Cartersville Methodist Episcopal Church South renamed itself in his honor.[3]
