Whitewater Baptist Church – Georgia Greeting Card

Description

Whitewater Baptist Church – 5×7 Georgia Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale

This Georgia greeting card features Whitewater Baptist Church in rural Macon County. The church gets its name from nearby Whitewater Creek. The building on the left is the older church that I remember from my childhood. The growing congregation has built a larger sanctuary in more recent years.

Whitewater Baptist Church traces its congregation back to 1877. When I look at the image on this card, this church hit me as being the epitome of country churches throughout the American southeast if not beyond. It’s the simple but classic architecture and the white paint. And I love the sense of it being nestled almost in the woods with the trees surrounding it. I think it’s a scene that you can appreciate whether or not you call this your church.
