  The present structure was built in 1833 on land donated by Lockland Morrison. Most early communicants were recent arrivals from the Carolinas, coming down in covered wagons. Quarterly camp meetings drew crowds from all over North Florida and South Georgia. In the 1830s and 1840s, it was the banner church in the area, with a membership of over 500. As time went by, other congregations sprang up to leave Springhill’s “Old Mother Church weak and poor.”
  
  The historic cemetery is the 2nd one for the congregation. The 1st lies near the site of the original church, just north of the Metcalfe-Beachton Road, on privately owned land. Several unmarked graves are all that remain of the site. The oldest marked grave at the current cemetery dates to 1843, but there are other graves which are unmarked and may be older. Other graves are reported to be those of slaves.
  
  Regular services were held there from 1826 until it closed during the Great Depression in 1934.
  
  In 1952, Harry Stringer made a promise to his wife, Betty, that the grounds and cemetery would be kept up, so that she would allow her son to be buried there. He honored that promise and inspired a new generation to care for the “Old Mother Church.”
  
  Today, Springhill Church meets on the 5th Sunday of a month that has 5 Sundays. On these days, regulars and visitors gather to fellowship. Everyone brings something to share at the dinner on the grounds following the service. All are welcome. Continuing in a long tradition, the church continues to host weddings, baptisms and funerals.
