From a plaque on the church:
"Midway Congregational Church

Erected 1792

Organized 1754 by descendents of an English Colony which came first to Massachusetts 1630 to Connecticut 1635 to South Carolina 1695 and to Georgia 1752

Built on the same spot as the church which was burned by the British in 1778

This church has given to her country eighty-six ministers of the Gospel and seven foreign missionaries

Midway in St. John’s Parish, now Liberty County, was the cradle of revolutionary spirit in Georgia and two of her sons were signers of the Declaration of Independence"
