| The church was organized in 1909 after the Sunday School organization in 1906. The community had been named for the Hebard Cypress Company was the Church changed its name from Deenwood to Habardville. Cypress was borrowed from the mill to use as pews for the first service. The women organized a "Golden Jubilee Society" in 1928, the fifty year of the Woman's Missionary Society. Classrooms were built in 1950, and in 1956 the Church became a station church. It supported a missionary family in 1964 and 1966 and assisted the Waycross District Youth Work Teams to Costa Rica in 1968 and 1969. |
