St. Sarah's Church

St. Sarah's Church is a location in Season 5 of AMC's The Walking Dead.

Pre-Apocalypse
St. Sarah's Church held its annual canned food drive, stocking the church up with canned food, that was supposed to be given to the local Food Bank, but the outbreak came before anyone could give it to the Food Bank.

Post-Apocalypse
Father Gabriel Stokes survived inside this church since the beginning of the outbreak, living on canned food that the church had collected to give to the Food Bank. At one point Father Gabriel ran out of cans and started to scavenge nearby buildings, looking for food. While searching the forest for food, he is cornered on a rock by walkers. He is saved by Rick and his group, and offers them to stay at the church.

Trivia

 * A short bus is parked behind the church which Father Gabriel is happy to give to Rick and his group, if they even manage to fix it.
 * The words "YOU'LL BURN FOR THIS" is carved into one side of the church walls, this is a reference to going to Hell, where those who reject the free gift of salvation paid for with the blood of Jesus Christ go for all eternity.
 * Inside of the church is a list of Bible verses on the wall. These verses all deal with the living and the dead. They are:
 * Romans 6:4: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
 * Ezekiel 37:7: So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
 * Matthew 27:52: And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
 * Revelations 9:6: And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
 * Luke 24:5: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
