From the church website:
Five generations of Carters have attended this beautiful sacred spot. They came to be saved, join the church, marry, or have their babies christened and last of all to be buried. This quiet peaceful spot nestled among the tall pines on a lonesome hill.
The church has touched the lives of all who have ever lived here in Poor Valley. Even strangers who visit A.P. Carter’s grave are touched by its beauty. It is a cornerstone of the valley. It is a place to go to worship, pray and have fellowship with your neighbors on Sundays.

Thus quiet is the place during the weekdays, and lively on Sunday morning with songs of praise...
