Christadelphian Church, Morrillton

The entryway doesn't match the church, but I guess it gets you inside.

Update: The Encyclopedia of Arkansas has an article about this denomination here.

First United Methodist, Conway

Evoking both Byzantine and Italian Renaissance architectural styles, this church was built in 1915.

Happy Easter.

In my travels around the state of Arkansas, I tend to be drawn to houses of worship. There is an amazing diversity of architectural styles when it comes to churches, and I try to record that diversity here. Please excuse my amateur bumbling with a camera; I'm learning as I go along.

I own a stained glass studio called Arkansas Glassworks, so my interest in the state's churches springs from my work. In my meetings with the folks who attend and care for these buildings, I always come away with a feeling that a church is more than it appears. A church is a shell whose spirit resides within.
