Though sided with asbestos today, the exterior of this church would have originally looked just like the interior, as seen below. The congregation dates to 28 September 1887, though I’m not sure when the church was built.
It’s set on fieldstone pillars.
Update: Chloe Evans Holloway notes, as of February 2023: It has been torn down and nothing is there but a sign and the graveyard. I have 3 or 4 generations of my family in the graveyard. My grandfather built the wooden caskets for many of the families who are buried there.

Sad to hear that it’s gone, Chloe. I’ll update it.
My GMA passed in 2020 so we were there in July and there was a team destructing it for moving. Someone was taking it to their land to make a house out of it in Colquitt Ga is what the crew told me. My family and I grabbed scraps of lumber for keepsakes. My mom’s grandfather preached there is the story I’ve heard.
If anyone is ever in the area I am in search of dob and date of death for Rachel Marie Anglin Love and her husband Robert Lee Love Sr.
Are any kin to a Vincent Evans, my Dad is Stanley Knight, I also have lots of family buried there.
Talk about standing on the solid rock.
I’m surprised a local church hasn’t grabbed this prize and moved it. It’s wonderful.
This little place has story to tell
