After local religious leaders made initial plans for a new church and  construction began, 'A Spanish style tower with windows was built. A twenty-five foot mast with a beacon was placed on top of the tower. This was the tallest structure in the area at the time. The church’s light was a nautical landmark for the fishermen to guide them from the gulf toward John’s Pass and to safety. The seaman’s byword was “look for the house of God to find your way home”. This light stayed on until all fishermen were accounted for. If the light stayed on longer than usual the community knew someone was overdue and everyone would pray for the sailors’ safe return to port. That mast has since been replaced with a lighted cross.'

Today it is known as the "Chicken Church."
