So cute, Worth the quick trip off the highway Only a mile away stay a couple minutes. Parking is easy Go in sit and pray . Gas stop and food is right on the way back to the highway. Traveling on Moms 80th birthday Mom really liked it.

I wish these were more common. Fully functioning church, even has a bell you can ring. If you're wondering about its record status, many others claim the title, but this one might be the most active.

Questions & Answers

What is the history of this church?

The "Smallest Church in America", also known as Memory Park Christ Chapel is not actually the smallest but still attracts many visitors travelling along the Georgia Coast Scenic Byway.  Measuring 10 x 15 feet, with pews for twelve people, and a compact pulpit for a minister, it is quite tiny.  Built in 1949, by service station owner and grocer Agnes Harper, the chapel was meant to provide  a peaceful place to rest and be refreshed on the journey.  The building and highway frontage property is deeded to Jesus Christ in perpetuity. The deed, in the Darien City Hall Property Records room, clearly lists Christ’s mailing address as Heaven, and the property passes to his heirs. The original building was gutted by a fire on Nov 28, 2015. It is believed that the fire was started by people trying to open the metal donations box with a torch. It has since been rebuilt and reopened to the public on April 8, 2017.
