Churches in 1890 at Paradise were Christian/Church of Christ, Baptist and Methodist. The First Christian and Church of Christ split in about 1901. The Baptist church was built in 1895 but had church at the Methodist Church in old town until then. The new Baptist Church was built in new town after the railroad came through in 1893. The Methodist Church was built first in old town with OHP Read donating land and lumber to build soon after old town was settled in 1873. The Church of Christ contiuned to have church in old town until the church house burned in about 1907. They also built a churchhouse in new town some time later. The Methodist Church was moved from old town to new town in about 1902 or 1903. Another church was located south of Paradise in the Upper Arkansas area on Robert Arnold land. It was a Methodist Church. Edna Wood VP Paradise Historical Society.
