Christ Church - (912) 232-4131 28 Bull Street

Third building on church site selected by Oglethorpe; "Mother Church of Georgia." The 1819 Revere bell that chimes before services bears these weighty words: "The living to the church I call, and to the grave I summon all." The classic Greek temple design came from architect James Hamilton Couper. First minister to the colonists was the Reverend Dr. Henry Herbert, chaplain on the ship Ann. Later ministers included the Rev. John Wesley and the Rev. George Whitefield, impassioned preacher and founder in 1740 of the Bethesda Orphan Home. Other "firsts" at Christ Church include America's first Sunday School and the first hymnal in English, both credited to John Wesley in 1736. Bull Street on Johnson Square.
