Dir.: From the intersection of Lynn Rd. (SR 1819) and Hwy. 70 West, 
Raleigh, take Lynn Rd. for about 1 mile to the intersection of Lynn Rd. 
and Leesville Rd. (SR 1822). Turn left onto Leesville Rd. to the church 
and cemetery which are immediately visible on the left side of the road.

The church property contains 6.43 acres in an irregular shape which 
fronts on Leesville Rd. and has side access to Lynn Rd. There is a 
paved parking lot behind the church with ample parking. The cemetery is 
owned by the church, is currently in use, and has room for more 
burials. The cemetery slopes down hill away from the church and has 
some erosion problems but is generally well kept and tidy.
