One of two churches in the Clyo Lutheran Parish, Wingard Memorial Lutheran Church serves the “town” of Clyo. According to their website: The building of Wingard Memorial Lutheran Church began in 1905 on land in Clyo, GA, donated by Augustus Mallory. The church was readied for service by 1911, and on November 16, 1913, the church officially established and adopted a constitution. The church was named for a former pastor, Rev. H. B. Wingard. Today, many of the current members still bear the family names of the original charter members.
