Mission Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mission Church, on Mackinac Island, Michigan, was built in 1829. It is the oldest existing church in the state of Michigan. It is constructed in the New England Colonial church style and is sparsely decorated as a result of its Calvinist origins. It was built as part of a Calvinist mission complex that also includes the adjacent Mission House.
The church is now part of Mackinac Island State Park. It has been restored to its original condition and is open in the summer for tours and weddings. The church is featured on the United States' National Register of Historic Places.
