Types of churches in Savannah

Historic Churches in Savannah

Many congregations worship in antebellum and Victorian-era sanctuaries throughout the Historic District, with steeples rising over the squares along Bull Street. Services often emphasize traditional liturgy, pipe organ and choral music, and community life tied to preservation culture and longstanding civic traditions.

Savannah Churches for Young Adults

With SCAD’s large student presence, contemporary congregations near Downtown and the Starland District offer creative worship, late-evening services, and arts-friendly ministries. Small groups frequently gather in Midtown and Ardsley Park, and outreach often connects with Forsyth Park events, local shelters, and city festivals.

African-American Gospel Churches

Rooted in Savannah’s civil rights history and Gullah-Geechee culture, these congregations are prominent in West Savannah, Cuyler-Brownsville, and the Eastside. Expect dynamic choirs, call-and-response preaching, and strong community programs focused on education, voter engagement, and neighborhood uplift.

Coastal & Island Churches

On Tybee Island, Wilmington Island, Isle of Hope, and Skidaway, congregations reflect a coastal rhythm—from sunrise beach services to ministries for boating and fishing families. They often organize hurricane-preparedness networks, marsh and beach cleanups, and fellowship that bridges year-round residents with seasonal visitors.

#SeekingTheKingdom
“I think that you see the common refrain here. Even in the midst of the semi absurdity of some of these stories, we recognize that there is something for which we are seeking. There is something that is so amazing that when we find it, we just don't want to let go of it. There is something may come across as tiny and insignificant like a mustard seed at first, but when we watch it blossom and grow and transform into what it is meant to be, we see how alluring that it is. That's the kingdom of heaven.”

“What is your inward motivation? Is it love? Is it humility? Is it caring for others? Is it a desire to serve, a desire to be godly, or is it pride? Is it self centered? Is it constantly wanting more? That's what you gotta hold up and see. What do I wanna pass on to my kids? Not only what do I wanna see when I'm standing in front of God, but what do I wanna pass on to my kids? Are you okay with giving them your inside motivations and saying here you go, you guys deal with this? Are you somebody that wants to step up and say, no, I will have the right motivations? It's gonna be because I'm going to be focused on Christ.”
38s
“Think about the story with the Israelites. They made their calf out of gold. Where did they get the gold from? We've talked about this. This is gold that God had given to Israel when they were leaving slavery in Egypt. That gold was a gift from God to them and so they took the gifts that God had given to them and they turned it into something that that was never meant to be. They turned a gift into a God. They turned the gift, they turned a good thing into a god thing. And that's how idols are made.”
39s
“God had given listen, that's why I say faith is a family event. It's a generational thing. You can leave your children an inheritance of faith. Are you with me? It said that first God had come to Abraham and gave him this promise and then he turns around and give the same promise to who? Isaac his son and the same promise to who? Isaac's son, who? Jacob which is Abraham's grandson. Faith can be passed down. Just like a recipe. Gosh!”
42s
#DesignedForHarmony
“And there's design in that. There's purpose in that. There's a harmony and a balance to that. Creation, as we look at it, works because it operates according to design god had intended from the beginning and when everything functions according to that design, there is a harmony and that should not surprise us. That should make sense when we do things according to the designer's way. We should be like, well, duh. That's a duh moment. It makes sense to follow the designer's way and his path and not my own. So when everything functions that way, that's the goal. But when things move away from that design, the result becomes disorder.”
47s
#TrustThroughTrials
“And I think for a lot of us maybe in this room, I think that's the biggest factor. We're not sure if we actually trust the Lord. Do we trust the Lord in the things that we go through? Do we trust the Lord even though we've gone through a rough patch and we're struggling, we're doing this and we're doing that, where all these troubles are coming? Do we trust the lord in it? Do we have the faith to believe in him and know that, hey, you know what? He's got this. Doesn't mean it's gonna be pretty. Doesn't mean it doesn't even mean that, hey, you know what? That you're gonna come out and you're gonna be without any kind of scars on you and some pain. Yeah. You're probably going to. But I think that's what it's like to live for the lord.”
60s
#HeartOverRituals
“The person who grows up in church, gets baptized, says a sinner's prayer whose heart is never surrendered, it's never circumcised, it's never changed, can die and not have eternal life. And the person who lives like hell, steals your Amazon packages, cuts you off on 75, gets in a car accident, rush to the hospital, are about to die, and they can say, Lord, I was wrong. Forgive me. I surrender my life to Christ, and they instantly inherit eternal life. Imagine that. Imagine that. What's the point? It's not about what you've done. This is a real issue in Christianity today.”
35s
#VerseByVerseStudy
“we're going to start just in the first chapter and just go through the verses you know we're going to go one verse of a time there's no rise in thisbible studies is the good thing about it we can take our time and read through the scripture so we're going to start in chapter one of the first epistle of peter chapter one verse one and the bible says this way”
50s
#SearchForThePerfectPearl
“Or this final one about a pearl. There's a merchant, and he goes in search of pearls because he wants to become wealthy. And when he finds the perfect pearl, he sells everything else that he has in order to buy that one. I think that you see the common refrain here. Even in the midst of the semi absurdity of some of these stories, we recognize that there is something for which we are seeking. There is something that is so amazing that when we find it, we just don't want to let go of it.”
56s
#AuthenticFaithJourney
“``That's one of the beautiful things about being a minister. That I can get up in front of a room full of people and say, you know, I really don't know what I'm doing. And you understand. You get it. And you say, yeah, I'm on that journey too. Friends, that's what the kingdom of heaven is like. We can be honest with each other. We can look each other in the eye and say, some of these things I think I get and some of them just confound me. And that's okay. Because God loves us and accepts us just the way that we are. And God will make more and more things clear and evident to us, which with each passing day if we're willing to engage with him and one another.”
