This church was built in 1887 and it took 2 years to build it. First used by Union Congregation, then later as Methodist-Episcopal Church South and is now in Manatee Historical Village and available to rent for services and weddings.
I had to stand on the steps to get a shot of the steeple, and the front view I took through a glass window from inside the courthouse.
Joining Inspired Sunday, be sure to stop by and view other churches and join in to.

What a nice church - I love churches built with wood. And it looks very well taken care of too. Gorgeous pictures. We have very windy weather here today, so it calls for a day indoors I think. Enjoy your Sunday
Oh how I love these pictures. Have a good day.
a beautiful church. Looking at the last picture I'm betting that those air conditioners weren't part of the original construction...lol
That is beautiful. Looks well cared for.
Blessings,

What a pretty church. I love old buildings and have a fondness for churches and barns.
A beautiful church. I especially like the picture taken of it through the spainish moss.

Lovely old church. The moss dripping from the surrounding trees makes it even better.
It is absolutely gorgeous and how awesome it would be to have a wedding there!
Sandra, now I have been trying not to use the word Love so much....But I love the first photos so much. That would be so nice in my house on a small wall. The other pics are gorgeous, too. I love old churches. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos!

I do love old churches and I think about all the history there - the weddings - births - deaths - have a great Sunday. sandie
Love the angle of the first photo. This church is beautiful!
I'm running way behind!!! lol
Oh NOOO, standing on steps looking upward!! I cannot even look upward without steps!!! So does this church have a congregation, I am guessing NO since it is in the historical village. I have never seen one like it, and it kind of looks like one that in my mind the Pilgrims would build. PERFECT for Sunday, I LOVE it! HEY, it has FEET!!! Must be really watery there, had it been somewhere else, then moved?
You always find a way to find the spots from which you capture photos with outstanding composition. Never ordinary!
Gorgeous building! Nice batch!!
Great church and great photos!
That's a beautiful old building. This is what a church should look like in my mind. Today they can have almost any shape at all. I know it is only a building and God can be worshipped everywhere,but I still like the looks of a church style building.
Sandra those are beautiful shots...I can just see ladies with their hats and gloves on...pretty church dresses....
This is a beautiful church building, and you got some great shots of it.
Pretty! I like the architecture and that it's still in such good condition.
Magnificent church......makes my heart fuzzy, :)
This is such a pretty church! I really enjoyed seeing this one. Twyla
What a beautiful old church. It reminds me of the ones I used to see in Georgia. Some would be in small towns and others would be in the middle of nowhere. But they all shared similar architecture.
The porch swing below brings back a lot of memories for me. There was one on my grandmother's porch that I loved.
This is so beautiful!
