        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.
