White Bluff Meeting House

Georgia’s oldest congregation in continuous service within the Reformed (Calvinistic) theological tradition began with 160 Reformed Germans who came to Savannah in 1737 seeking religious freedom. After completing their terms as indentured servants, they petitioned the colony’s Trustees for a Reformed minister. In August 1745, the Trustees granted the petition and gave a two-acre tract for the church and glebe land to support the ministry. The glebe land was officially granted by King George II in 1759. The first minister was John Joakim Zulby, who also served in the Second Continental Congress.
