Originally Fulsoms Creek Church, which was organized in June 28, 1792. The church was renamed Horeb Baptist Church in 1798. The church moved to its present site in 1799. As was the custom in Georgia before the Civil War, blacks attended regular church services with whites. In 1870, the minutes record that the members were helping their African American brethren build their own meeting place, which became Union Church. After serving the Mayfield community and surrounding area for 200 years, Horeb Church ended its regular services in 1992. Trees planted by the congregation in 1886 still line the driveway to the church and cemetery.

Lots are numbered starting with Lot 1 in the front right as you face the front of the church. Numbering goes in rows from front to back, then back to font, then front to back again, in a back and forth pattern. Lot 38 is at the back center of the graveyard. Lot 56 is at the front left.
