Why go
The Missionary Baptist Church offers several details to examine on a short Cades Cove stop: a bell tower, a bay window behind the pulpit and unfinished wooden pews around the center aisle. Those features distinguish it from the other loop-road churches. Comparing the buildings shows how separate congregations left different marks on the valley’s shared history.
What to look for
- The Missionary Baptist Church is on the entrance side of the loop past Hyatt Lane and across from Rich Mountain Road.
Useful to know
- Reach the church from the Cades Cove Loop Road and allow time to view the bell tower and interior details.
