What to do and see in Savannah, Georgia (GA): The Best Churches & Cathedrals
Charming Savannah is the picture of antebellum hospitality, thanks to period architecture and oak-lined streets. It’s tempting to spend your trip just relaxing on vast verandas and sipping mint juleps, but there are plenty of historical sites and museums to explore. Haunting (and possibly haunted) Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the hallmarks of the city, featuring beautiful obelisks, masses of flowers, and ivy-covered crypts. Dine on fresh seafood and creamy grits for a taste of Savannah home cooking.

Beautiful Easter Festival service! The organ music, the beauty of the sanctuary, and the friendliness of the pastor & congregation make this a very special place to worship.

We attended a wedding here this past week and it is awe inspiring. Location is prime in the center of the historic district and next door to Chippewa Square (the Forrest Gump Square). Inside is beautiful with ornate finishes (the ceiling looks like an elaborate wedding cake) & classic columns. Stop by if you can, you won’t regret it!
6. St. John's Church (Episcopal)

4.5 based on 12 reviews
(Closed for 2020 tours on April 13-20) All are welcome to Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday services. This Gothic Revival church, consecrated in 1853, showcases several stained-glass windows, of which six were made by Moore & Co. and installed in 1886. If you visit Madison Square around 1 p.m., you will be charmed by St. John’s chimes, which number over 50 bells and play a variety of classic hymns. The Episcopal congregation is one of just a handful who worships from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Daily services at 8: 15 am & 5:30 pm in St. Mary's Chapel (at the back of the church); each Sunday at 8 am, 9 am, 11 am and 12:15 pm; on holidays at 8:30 am, 9:30 am (Chapel), and 11 am. If you plan to tour St. John's, allow time to tour our adjacent parish house --The Green-Meldrim House. It is the home where General Sherman stayed during the Federal occupation of Savannah in 1864. It is also one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the South.

We happened upon this church while wandering through Savannah's beautiful streets. We wandered in and surprisingly, were invited to sit for spell to hear a bit of the church's history by a local docent. It was magnificent! We learned some key info on the church as well as the symbolism within the decor - it was such a treat! It only took about 15-20 min and the docent said that despite having been around since the 1850s, the church had only started giving tours in 2017. Wow, certainly happy they decided to share! Stop in and see for yourself.

I get goose bumps when I tell people about The Journey. We have gone several times are never disappointed. Even the teenagers look forward to this event. Live actors portray the story of Jesus as you and a small group of people are taken on a guided walk around a lake. You end up in Bethlehem. The have though of every detail. It really is incredible. The kids will enjoy the live animals. I encourage every one I know to see this amazing experience. It reminds me of the reason for the season.
8. St. Michael And All Angels Episcopal Church
We would love to have you visit us, but we know that making the decision to go to church can be tough. We welcome anyone and everyone at St. Michael and All Angels. It doesn't matter if you don't believe everything we believe. We don't all agree on everything anyway, and your doubts and questions are welcome, too. What we do agree on is that we are better together than apart.
