Salem Baptist Church, Candler County

An old, white church building with a large porch and stairs, surrounded by sparse vegetation and trees under a cloudy sky.

Salem is one of the oldest churches in Candler County, though not nearly as old a congregation as that of Lake Primitive Baptist Church. The church is said to have been built in 1875. I haven’t been able to confirm the construction date, as my two sources are in conflict. One source notes that it began meeting in 1875 and was formally organized in 1900.
