Churches in the South

   Previously, we shared some pictures of different churches in South Carolina. It has been said by many that the Bible Belt runs through South Carolina. In fact, some say the belt buckle for the Bible Belt is in South Carolina. This our second installment of pictures of different churches in South Carolina. Let me say, I know nothing about these churches or their pastors or what they teach or preach. As I traveled in SC recently, these churches struck me as indicative of many in SC, NC and GA as well as other Southern states. For those that live in the South, they will not even notice these churches, for to many, they are so common place as to not merit a second look. For others, they will depict a flavor or you could say a certain spice of what is known as the Bible region of the United States.

This is the first church I saw that inspired me to stop and take pictures. First, “Jesus Saves” on the building.

             It was not until my return trip that I noticed the other end of the sanctury- Repent or Perish…

Next, I spotted this church. Not until I stopped to take the picture did I notice the phone number.

Here are some others that seemed to exhibit the certain flavor of the South….

     During my time at Word of Faith Fellowship, I frequently heard the phrase, “Just go with the flow”. It was often inferred or understood that “the flow” was the way “God’s Spirit” was leading everyone else, in particular – Jane Whaley. With that in mind, I thought this picture was eye catching to say the least. We will be on the look out for other visual displays in the South.

  2. Katie,

    If you are speaking of the “Jesus Saves” church, it is along Hwy 151 south of Pageland. Not sure exactly where, I just notice when I am traveling.
