The archives at UGA hold church records for Rock Branch dating back to 1845, so the congregation has been around for at least that long. This building is circa 1904.#georgiachurch #ruralgeorgia #elbertcountyga

Since 2014 this has been Mara Evangelical Church in Lithonia, DeKalb County. Historically it was Rock Springs Primitive Baptist Church which I believe was established some time around 1850. The adjoining Rock Springs cemetery has graves dating back to 1854.#georgiachurch #lithoniaga #dekalbcountyga

This building is circa 1900, although with new additions, like the vinyl siding. I’m not sure how much longer it will be around.#georgiachurch #putnamcountyga #abandonedgeorgia #abandonedchurch

The current church, just to the right, was built in the 1970s. The Madison-Morgan Conservancy reports that the school building was moved off-site. Where and when I do not know.#georgiachurch #morgancountyga #blackhistory #benevolentsociety

was founded in 1868 by people formerly enslaved. Both churches played a huge role in DeKalb’s Black history and both are still active today. This is the third building that has housed Mount Pleasant. It was built in 1952.#georgiachurch #blackhistory #dekalbcountyga

On my trip to Marion County last month one of the places I really wanted to visit was Samuel Chapel A.M.E. I knew the church had closed in the 1990s, but I was hoping it was still standing. It’s gone. The sign remains. Originally called Union Hill A.M.E. #georgiachurch #ruralgeorgia
