Built in the late 1870s, the Gillespie Chapel sits atop a steep hill where the front steps put you close to the edge of the hill. Regular services ended in 1975, but it now serves the Upper Cartoogechaye area as a community space.
Rock Chapel Methodist Church was the oldest Methodist congregation in DeKalb County, Georgia. Founded in 1825, the congregation started on what is Rock Chapel Road near where the Joseph Bond house is. In 1834, Bond donated land west of its first location. A church was built that burned in 1870. The current structure is what replaced that building.
Based on church documents, enslaved members were included in the church rolls. In 1846, 11 people were listed. In the 1858 rolls, the comgregation included 61 enslaved people.
Based on information I found online, I believe the congregation dissolved in 2016.
I am unable to find much about this church, but it is located outside of Sylvania in Screven County, Georgia.
Built in 1911, Mary’s Chapel Methodist Church is located just outside of Broxton, Georgia. The congregation is still active. There is a newer building now being used on Smith Road. The church was named after Mary Newbern Smith.
