This cemetery is still being used. Originally a Presbyterian church, it became unaffiliated with any denomination after the Session of the Brunswick Presbyterian Church tried to close it in 1965. A new Sunday school and church building were constructed in 1972. Located on Ebenezer Rd. (Route 691), approx. 0.4 mi. south of Antioch Rd. (Route 631).
