Independent Presbyterian Church (Site)

Church

Organized in 1755, Independent Presbyterian Church was the spiritual home of many of Savannah's Patriot families during the Revolutionary War period. The church's congregation included members who served in the Patriot government and military. The current structure (1890) replaces earlier buildings; the site has been in continuous congregation use since the colonial period and anchors Savannah's Patriot civic heritage.
