Concord Primitive Baptist (Cook County, Ga.)

Concord Primitive Baptist has been serving this little farm community for over 125 years at this location in the little sanctuary you see here. It is located in a remote, rural location in Cook County. The closest city of any size is Moultrie, over thirty miles west. There have been some cosmetic changes on both the exterior and interior but the building is original. As Primitive Baptists, the ritual of footwashing is often observed, and the congregation has a foot washing service each year in September. Primitive Baptists also value traditional music, and this congregation has sung from the same hymnals since the church originated in the late 19th century. Worth noting however, is the singing is all acapella, meaning no musical accompaniment. The church was built by Charles W. Stallings who passed away in 1904 and is buried in the little graveyard.
