Chickasawhatchee Baptist Church

 

Old Mill Road @ Lee Street

 
 
 

            The Nineteenth Century American “Small Church” style structure is the oldest house of worship in Terrell County on its original site. The congregation organized as a Primitive Baptist Church is 1858. The church fell vacant in 1984. A new congregation, affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention, began their worship in this historic structure in June 1991.

            The church is built of South Georgia cypress on one piece heart-pine sills that run full length of the building. The pulpit deck is thought to be from the original congregation.
