Ebenezer Church cemetery is located on the west side of Hwy 801, across the road from the church, and includes burials of many members and non-members of the church. The church was organized and built in 1853 as "Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Church, South." A clear deed to about eleven acres of land was recorded in 1855. Osborn G. Foard and his brother, Dr. John F. Foard, donated the land and materials for the church. The first burial was in June 1854 of Ann F. Foard, second wife of Osborn Foard. Her grave is often mistaken to be that of Osborn Foard. It is said that many slaves & and Native American Indians are buried around the cemetery in unmarked graves. Small, brick-sized stones mark only a few of them.
Beginning in 1939, the church was known as "Ebenezer Methodist Church." It remained this until 1968 when the Methodist denomination, through merger, became known as United Methodists, with a church name change to "Ebenezer United Methodist Church." In 1967, during the pastorate of Rev. W. W. Pryor, the church sanctuary was rebuilt. In 2023, Ebenezer United Methodist Church voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church denomination, with a subsequent church renaming to "Ebenezer Church."
Numerous members of the Nail, Correll, & Kluttz families are buried in Ebenezer Church Cemetery, along with many unmarked burials of former church members.
