The existing building
was the third, built in 1886 and has been enlarged at least once since
then. It is still an active church. It is located on
Dogwood Road, just off Five Forks Trickum Road between Lilburn and Lawrenceville.
Sadly, it is in a narrow triangle of Dogwood, Five Forks-Trickum
and Oak Road and is rapidly being surrounded by high density single family
subdivisions and commercial businesses and stores.
