If you are traveling along I-95 through Georgia and want to take a break The Smallest Church in America is worth the short drive off the interstate. The church is located on the side of the road on US Highway 17 in Townsend, Georgia. There are two picnic tables under the oaks if you want to eat lunch or just relax for a few minutes.
An arsonist burned this church in November, 2015. Volunteers rebuilt the church in 2016.
Directions: Take I-95 exit 67, about one mile south on US Hwy 17. Look for a white sign on the left (east) side, “Smallest Church in America”. You can also search Google Maps for “Smallest Church in America”.

Wonderful choice for CPS! Is that a belfry beside the chapel? Your picture and narrative make me want to visit one day. Thank you for sharing this beauty! pp

Thanks Pepper. We first discovered this church before it was burned in 2015. We have stopped to see it a few times over the years. It’s worth a stop.

I’ve always loved that little church and was fortunate to have seen it before the fire. The volunteers who rebuilt it were are amazing. There was no way they were going to let vandalism get the best of it.

Thanks Donna. We first saw the church a few years before it was burned. We stopped again in 2016 before they had finished rebuilding it. Yes, I agree the volunteers are amazing.

I love this – it’s just the sort of quirky sight we look out for when on a road trip in the US 🙂 I’ll remember it if ever we find ourselves heading to Georgia!
