The Former Ebenezer Methodist Church in Ashland, Georgia

The Hebron Lodge occupies what was once the Ebenezer Methodist Church in Ashland, Georgia. The congregation of Ebenezer was founded in the 1820s. Their first church was on the same plot of land. In 1882 a new church was built by the congregation. It is the one that stands today.

The congregation dissolved in the 1960s. At some point the Hebron Lodge #564 took over the space and now use it as a meeting place.

Red Oak United Methodist Church-Birdie Community, Georgia

Front view of building

The Birdie Community was established in 1894 in northwest Spalding County. The Red Oak United Methodist Church was founded in 1871. There isn’t much published history on the church.

Behind the more modern church building is this turn of the century wooden building. I am not certain of it is a church or school, I am leaning more to it being a school based on the doors and windows.

The church seems to still be active. There were some fairly recent burials in the cemetery.

This was the oldest marker I found. Epcy Starr died in 1904.
There were several Eldren Bailey markers in the cemetery.
