In June 2023, with the support of the congregation, its ministers, and the Taveau Legacy Committee, Preservation South Carolina purchased historic Taveau Church from the UMC Conference.
Taveau is a remarkable survivor of a rural black church with rich history. For over 125 years Taveau was an active place of worship and gathering. This multi-year restoration project will return the historic church to usefulness as a local community space.
A grant from South Carolina Humanities in 2024 will allow Preservation South Carolina to partner with WeGOJA Foundation to collect oral histories associated with historic Taveau Church.
