The church was organized in 1888. The cemetery and church are not located together. To reach the cemetery from the church, go north on Old Statesville Rd. Turn right on Henderson Rd. then make an immediate left. The cemetery will be on the right and can be seen from the road. It is fenced and locked, so arrangements need to be made with the church to enter the cemetery.
The cemetery and church are at the deadend of the road. They are behind a major shopping area.
