Category: Thing Iconic Downtown Churches

Jane Junker attended Valdosta State University and has a background in administration. She has been sewing for over 40 years and enjoys making rag rugs from discarded clothing or fabric, as well as creating home decor items. Jane proudly states, “God gave me a wonderful gift to bring joy to others, and I am so very thankful!” Jane has chosen to highlight the churches in historic downtown Thomasville because they are architecturally interesting and symbolize how different yet connected our community is. These churches date back to the early 1800s, and they are full when you pass by them on Sunday. “What a blessing!” she says. Churches have long been vital to Thomasville’s history. They fulfill a spiritual need and serve as places of cultural and social importance.
