Barbecue Presbyterian Church - NC - Country Churches on Waymarking.com

This country church has a mailing address in Sanford, which is actually about 10 miles north. One road atlas I have of North carolina shows the community name as "Barbecue" and so does mapquest. Whether the church was named for the community or the community was named for the church, it's a bit of a mystery.

Barbecue Church was formed by Scottish Highlanders who pioneered this area in the mid-1700's. This was a sister church to Bluff Church and Long Street Church, located in the Upper Cape Fear region, which were all organized by Rev. James Campbell, a pioneering Scottish Presbyterian preacher and a local historic figure in the region.

The present building at Barbecue Church is the third on the site and dates to 1895. It continues to be an active Presbyterian Church after almost 250 years.
