Tiny Churches
If you can’t find sanctuary in your own tiny house, how about in a tiny church? As we get closer to the holidays we can celebrate the many different ways that people worship, and some of them worship in tiny little churches or chapels that can only hold about a dozen attendees. Many of these miniscule churches and chapels are famous just for their size and have been included in several websites including Roadside America.
Church in Bitterroot Valley, MT
A few of these churches were built small because of a lack of construction funds, and some because of a lack of space or land. Whatever the reason, these tiny little treasures might really prove that God is in the details.

I’ve got to throw in a link to my favorite tiny church. It’s privately owned and a real treasure.
St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Thank you, Kim. What a charming little church!
These tiny little churches seem so much more cozy than those big mega-churches in so many cities now.
These churches are great. I especially like St. Jude’s church, it’s beautifully crafted. What solitude and privacy one must have when they visit.

It is a breath of fresh air to see you folks include tiny churches on this site. So many people shy away from religion today for fear of being politically incorrect. It is so wonderful to see you guys include religion – however one finds it – on this site!
Lovely collection – try this one from Lake Tekapo in New Zeland
