Eternal Life Baptist Church

Eternal Life Baptist Church characterizes the traditional churches of the rural south-- a small white building, gravel parking lot, gnarly, mature trees, and lots of spirit. It is located on a sleepy part of Church Street where stand-alone buildings are on the brink of being replaced by franchises and apartment complexes. Also, in our local newspaper, The News and Record, Nancy McLaughlin wrote an article about the struggles of these small churches as, increasingly, they have to compete with the big box churches. Read the article, In Walmart world, churchgoers want options, here.

According to the marquee, the pastor for Eternal Life Church is P.T. Noble. Other than their Sunday services, they hold Bible Study on Thursday evenings. This church is just across the street from the home we affectionately call the world's smallest house. Finally, since we have so many new readers now, if you're here for Sacred Sunday and you want to see what we've featured over the last year, look here.

There is a place for plain and simple no-frills worship places.

It's a sweet little church. I like its bright blue blinds. Very striking contrast with the white paint.

And I agree with Dina. Some might have to fold, but there will always be some remaining.

Such great shots you take - they give you a nice slice of life - perhaps should be in LIFE magazine huh? Thanks for visiting

In reviewing your year's worth of churches, I find that you have truly covered the gamut. It is plain to see that religion is alive and well in the south. I especially enjoyed all the nativity scenes around Christmas time.
