Its church was at Hanging Bull, on the west side of the island. That church was destroyed by the hurricane of October 2, 1898, and residents of Hanging Bull dispersed. The congregation then built this church at Raccoon Bluff c.1899-1900, using lumber washed up on the shore from the hurricane.[3] Due to pressure to consolidate population of Sapelo Island only in Hog Hammock, so that the rest of the island could be a hunting preserve, the congregation shifted its worship to Hog Hammock in 1963. In 1968 the congregation built a new church there, the First African Baptist Church.[2] In 2000, the First African Baptist Church at Raccoon Bluff was restored.[3] by Sapelo Island residents, the state of Georgia, and students from the Savannah College of Art and Design.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{NRISref|2009a}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=96000916}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: First African Baptist Church at Raccoon Bluff / Raccoon Bluff Church |publisher=National Park Service|author=Kenneth H.
