Completed in 1904, Faith Chapel was a non-denominational chapel for the members of the Jekyll Island Club. It is of very simple design to fit into the relaxed feel and rustic philosophy of the Jekyll Island Club. The chapel features two intricately designed stained glass windows – one signed by the artist Louis Comfort Tiffany, the other installed by Helen and David Maitland Armstrong. The chapel also features Gothic Revival architectural elements including gargoyles below the steeple. The rich red of the pew cushions and aisle, combined with the interior (and exterior) dark wood shingling, provides for a warm glow and romantic atmosphere
