A church building surrounded by trees and landscaping, featuring a prominent cross on the exterior and a welcoming entrance with a ramp.

This congregation was established at Raccoon Bluff on 2 May 1866. The present structure dates to 1968 and the modern architecture is in stark contrast to the vernacular structures which define Hog Hammock.
