Flat Rock church had its origin in a school building located about six
miles north of Zebulon on Highway 19, where Patton's Road joins the
highway. The site, on the east side of the highway, was part of the
Cicero Gresham estate, and adjoined the Gresham Cemetery.  Soon after
Pike County was established, Cicero Gresham donated land for a school.
It was given the name "Flat Rock" by one of the early teachers, Mr.
Hartford Green, because nearby there is a large flat rock approximately 
twelve by twenty feet.
