Originally home to the Pentecostal Holiness Church in nearby Georgetown, this quaint chapel did not arrive on Pawleys Island until the late 1940s, when it was dismantled and transported to the island. The chapel was carefully rebuilt by the Georgetown Laymen’s Association and dedicated on June 6, 1948.
“The Chapel” has managed to survive both Hurricane Hazel and Hurricane Hugo, and continues to serve as the island’s only house of worship.
Special thanks to Matt Trudeau of Murrells Inlet for sharing this photo.

My family is traveling from all over the US (KY, MD, RI, and MA) to visit Pawleys Island this July. My mother passed away last summer and we would LOVE to have a mass/service in her honor at this chapel or on the beach. Any information would be appreciated. Our family has approximately 25 – 30 people. Thank-you, Arlene Durrett

Hey there! I’m with the SC National Heritage Corridor, and we are working on our travel magazine. We are doing a page on interesting churches and cemeteries…would there be any way that we can use this photo and give Matt the photo credit? Thanks so much!
