Description

In the community of Green Pond in Bibb County, a complex of 4.5 acres houses the Green Pond Presbyterian Church and Cemetery. The church dates back from 1884. Behind the church building is a cemetery dating from the time of the construction. Over 650 bodies are interred there. In the cemetery are notable markers from the Victorian period and the early -20th century.

Historically, the congregation dates back to 1871 in Birmingham with the founding of the 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church. The present day Mountain Brook Presbyterian congregation was formed from this church. The Green Pond Church merged with the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA) in 1906.
Green Pond Presbyterian Pond and Cemetery was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1999.
