Bayou Rouge Baptist Church
Evergreen, La

about 180 years old and on the National Historic Monument list


I'll take a small country church over those and the other mega churches today

Best backdrop:

Soldier's Chapel, Big Sky



Otherwise, I'd go with St. Helena's in Helena

My sister got married there. My grandparents were from Evergreen.

It is the most quintessential small town church I’ve ever been in.

Need a fact check on San Fernando... original portion built in the 1700s, oldest continously functioning church in Texas. It says 1868... maybe in its current form. Was well over a century old at that point.

Santa Anna flew his blood red flag from atop San Fernando to announce to the defenders of the Alamo that no quarter would be given.

Still a functioning church/parish.
