Cherokee Corner church remnant of Georgia's early faith
Old Cherokee Corner Methodist church nine miles from Athens on Lexington road has served leading Georgia ministers. The present building replaced an older one but retains a strong spiritual heritage. Sacramental wine and vessels have long been provided by the same family, and past ministers like Lovick Pierce and Stephen Olin shaped its history. The Winterville Circuit conference recently met there with Rev. D L Anderson and Presiding Elder H H Parks in attendance. May Cherokee Corner continue its distinguished tradition.
