Our story
Founded in 1891.
Still doing the work.
Live Oak was founded twenty-six years after Emancipation, the same year the railroad gave Ailey its post office. The church raised a schoolhouse next door, buried its builders with honor, and called its children home every generation since.
Walk through the story
A special project of the church

Legacy Project.
Behind the church rests the ground that holds our families: more than five hundred memorials, reaching back to the founding generation. Our Cemetery Committee is restoring it, grave by grave and name by name.
