The Episcopal church known as Heavenly Rest was an attractive wooden structure with stained-glass windows, elevated floors and a seating capacity of about 200. A symbolic white dove of peace graced the church's entrance.
The edifice was a rural gem at the time of its opening in 1889, and was a credit to the resident colony of Grovetown. The land on which the church stood was donated by Dr. Joseph Hatton, an early Grovetown government leader.
The church was on Ford Avenue, near where the Wilson residence is now. The street name was derived from an official of the Episcopal church in Augusta at the time.
With the deaths of the local church wardens, namely Dr. Hatton in 1903 and Joseph Hill in 1909, membership in Heavenly Rest dwindled. The end of the resort boom spelled the demise of the church. Ultimately, it was dissolved and deconsecrated. The only remaining visual remembrance of the church is the marble cornerstone, which was placed at the foot of Hayne's grave at Magnolia Cemetery in Augusta
