Edisto Island Presbyterian Church
Edisto Island Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church building on Edisto Island, South Carolina.
The church features massive Greek Doric columns supporting a triangular pediment with a central circular window and decorative frieze at its base.
Founded in 1685, the Presbyterian congregation constructed the current church building in 1831, making it one of the oldest Presbyterian establishments in America.
The church balcony, formerly a slave gallery, became a place of worship for freed slaves who managed the church independently from 1861 to 1867.
The church property includes a prayer chapel that remains open throughout the week for visitors seeking moments of reflection and meditation.
The cemetery contains graves dating back to 1787, providing genealogical records of Edisto Island residents through historical tombstone inscriptions.
