First African Baptist Church was organized in 1773 under the leadership of Reverend George Leile and established and constituted in December of 1777 as a body organized believers. Under the leadership of the 3rd Pastor Reverend Andrew C. Marshall, the congregation obtained the property where the present sanctuary stands. Marshall also organized the first black Sunday school in North America and changed the name of the church from “First Colored Baptist” to “First African Baptist”. The sanctuary was completed in 1859 under the direction of the 4th Pastor Reverend William J. Campbell. The ceiling of the church is in the design of a “Nine Patch Quilt” which represented that the church was a safe house for slaves. Beneath the lower auditorium floor is another finished sub floor which is known as the “Underground Railroad”. There is 4ft of height between both floors. The holes in the floor are in the shape of an African prayer symbol known as a Congolese Cosmogram that served a purpose of ventilation. First African Baptist Church has been a place of leadership and service since its inception. Reverend Emmanuel King Love, 6th Pastor, led the movement to establish Savannah State University, formerly known as Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth. Rev. Love also played a big role in the establishment of Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and Paine College in Augusta, GA. During the time of segregation the church served as the largest gathering place for blacks and whites to meet. Visitors from all walks of life have visited out sanctuary and left inspired.

4.5Wrightsboro Church(9 reviews) - Lost treasure found Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
We wandered the grounds and looked at the ancient gravemarkers left behind by those who once populated this second oldest city in Georgia. Folks were gathering for services and were very friendly to us. Worth going a little out of the way to study something of our past - the site and area is well marked with historic information.See more..
4.0Memory Park Christ Chapel(3 reviews) - One sweet place! Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
If you believe the proud claims of the Georgian locals, this is the smallest church in the United States.See more..
I visited here after working in the area. I arrived just after a service. The parishioners and Father Herman stayed and spoke for a while. The church and surrounding grounds are tranquil which is helpful if you want a place to worship and or pray. I'd recommend they put a calendar on their web site so people can know when the services are.See more..
4.0Hapeville First Baptist Church(1 review) - Beautiful Service Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Scenic Walking Areas • Churches & Cathedrals I am not very religious, but the Hapeville First Baptist Church is such a strong-knit community. The people are so nice and the services have always been very insightful. They welcome anyone who needs a place to worship and it is located in the city center. The Jess Lucas park around is absolutely beautiful and historic. The town is also located by the original Chick-Fil-A which is also a sight to see while in Hapeville. Chapman's Drugstore has awesome limeade and limeade sours. The Buttersweet Bakery across the street is also worth the walk around town!See more..
I visited Saint Mary’s Church for my name day as they were having a Divine Liturgy. The service book had both English and Romanian and was easily followed for a non-Romanian speaker. The service was nice and Fr. Nicolae was nice enough to add some prayers in English throughout the Liturgy to ensure I didn’t get lost. The quality chanting enhanced the atmosphere to be conducive of prayer. After the service I was able to meet with the parishioners for some quality fellowship time. It was well worth the trip from the opposite side of Atlanta.See more..
