Faith Chapel is a historic chapel on Old Plantation Road in Jekyll Island, Georgia and was built in 1904. It was used as a non-denominational chapel until 1942. The state of Georgia purchased it along with Jekyll Island in 1947. It is administered by the Jekyll Island State Park Authority and was opened to the public in 1970. It has a wood "A" frame and a brick foundation. The interior and exterior walls are shingled, with gargoyles that are replicas of the ones at Notre Dame Cathedral. It has stained-glass windows. One is "David's Window" which was made by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Other stained glass windows are by Maitland Armstrong. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and it is open to the public.[2]
