About the Chapel of the Cross

In the middle of the grove, there is a glade.

And in that glade, in the shadows of centuries-old magnolia, oak, cedar and dogwood, there stands a simple brick church.

Like any working church, it is itself a monument to human passage. Within its timeworn walls, six generations of communicants have been christened, joined in matrimony and spoken over as they set sail on their final journey to judgment and glory. Countless hymns have been sung, scriptures recited and sermons preached.

In that sense, The Chapel of the Cross is much like any other church. Yet, in a larger sense, this modest country church reflects not only those who gather here to worship, it inexorably reflects the history of the parish - from its birth in the days of antebellum plantations, through war at its doorstep, to continuing restoration and expansion by people dedicated to making the New South a reality rather than rhetoric.

Because this rich heritage is as much a physical part of the church as brick and mortar, even on the sunniest days this simple church will remain forever veiled in the mists of history.
