A must-see for any roadside attraction fan is the world's smallest church. Even though the church is still active, visitors are welcome. It is left unlocked, so one can simply walk in and look around. Nestled among huge live oaks and pine trees, the serene peacefulness is broken only by the traffic of U.S. 17. The church is approximately 10' x 20' and has a tiny pulpit, pews and a stained glass window.
