Little Mountain Presbyterian Church
3836 S.C. Hwy. 28 S, Abbeville
Front inscription
Organized by 1789, this congregation first met in a log building on the hill 1/4 mi. E, said to then be known as “God’s Mountain” and later “Little Mountain.” A cemetery from that first church remains on the hillside. About 1806, members moved down from the hill and worshipped in a second log church built on this site.
Reverse inscription
In 1811, Little Mountain congregants joined the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, later affiliating with the denomination’s conservative “Old School.” Portions of a wood frame church built in 1859 may have been used in a larger T-shaped church finished in 1920 and replaced by this builing in 1980.
