Established in 1862 with an initial membership of approximately 120 individuals, this iconic congregation stands as the oldest church on Hilton Head Island. Led by the remarkable Pastor Abraham Murchison, a literate former slave from Savannah and a respected leader in Mitchelville - the first self-governed freedman's town in America. Join us and bring your loved ones for an unforgettable journey through time and spirituality.

"We welcome everyone from far and near to share in our worship experiences. Let us all rejoice in knowing that the Lord continues to bless us and we are thankful to him today and always!"
