Nolan Ridge Church

Nolan Ridge Church The church in the middle of the woods. Founded in the early 1900s by Ellis Padgett, the church has been a long-standing part of the Long Branch community.

Located in Jennings State Forest, Nolan Ridge Church, with a rich history in the Long Branch area, welcomes the community to worship and fellowship! Deep in Jennings State Forest, Nolan Ridge Church, often referred to as the "little church in the woods," welcomes anyone seeking worship and fellowship. It was once called the “Little Red Church” and brought together families who worked in timber, tu

rpentine, farming, and even moonshine. Even as the area has changed, the church stands as a symbol of faith and resilience. Still running on a generator, this small chapel continues to unite people and honor the legacy of those who built it over a hundred years ago.

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or a time to gather with loved ones. It’s a time to remember the heroes who never made it home and the families who carried burdens and heartbreak with them.

To the mothers, fathers, spouses, children, friends, and loved ones who endured so much, thank you. Your strength, sacrifice, and love will never be forgotten.

Because of their courage, we can worship freely, gather openly, and enjoy time with the people we love.

Let’s never take those freedoms for granted.

Today, we remember.
Today, we honor.
And today, we say thank you.

It’s comforting to know that the same God who brought you this far will keep carrying you forward.

Hold on to His promises. Trust His timing. Walk forward in faith, knowing He goes before you. Everyone at Nolan Ridge Church hopes this verse encourages you today. Clay Hill / Maxville Florida
