Philadelphia Baptist Church is located at 6910 South Goddard Road, Lithonia, Georgia (Klondike Community). The Church Cemetery is across the road from the church. Someone created Klondike Baptist Churchyard Cemetery and these are ONE and the SAME. The photos of Klondike Baptist Church and Cemetery are the same photos as that of Philadelphia Baptist Church and Cemetery. Klondike Baptist Church according to the locals in the community who lived there all their lives said Klondike Baptist Church was never heard of or never existed.

Philadelphia Baptist Church was organized in 1874, and the church was built in 1900, rebuilt in 1955, according to the cornerstone in the brick of the church. The church has always had the same name.

Philadelphia Baptist Church is located in the Klondike community, which at one time was predominately white. Over the last few years, the shift has been to the Afro-American heritage. Today, Philadelphia Baptist Church and the Klondike Community is predominately Afro-American and this is an active Afro-American Church. As far as I understood, the graveyard is all white.
