Spiritual and Social Hub of the Settlement

The heart and soul of the community, this church was established in 1893 by the residents of Half Moon Bluff, a Freedmen Settlement on Cumberland Island. The current structure, built in 1937, replaced the original building and was moved east to the center of the Settlement creating a place for worship and social gatherings.
