1894 On February 1, 1894, S. M. Taliaferro, Mary Williams, J. W. Williams, and Susy T. Griffin donated land for church purposes to the trustees of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Recorded in Deed Book 109, page 376 (Fulton County, Georgia), the property was located along the Jonesboro Wagon Trail Road.
1895 The AME Conference named the church “Macedonia African Methodist Episcopal Church.” The foundation began under Bishop W. R. Wills. At times, Macedonia shared the building with Baptist congregants, which later led to disputes regarding property and denominational ownership.
1932 The Church was under the physical control of the AME Church. Prior to 1964, the building burned to the ground.
1964 Denominational disputes intensified, requiring police presence during some services.
1971–1981 Ownership disputes led to legal action. In 1981, court records confirmed that the property had been vested in the AME Church since 1894.
1982 Rev. Robert L. Mallory was appointed Pastor. Under his leadership, the church stabilized and grew.
1988–2000 Major renovations were completed at the Jonesboro Road location, totaling approximately $75,000 without outside assistance.
2000–2001 The church relocated to 6235 Stagecoach Road in Rex, Georgia, on 16.5 acres. A dedication ceremony was held in September 2001.
2005–2007 Outreach expanded, a church bus was purchased, and new pastoral leadership transitions occurred.
2010–2019 Continued ministry growth, renovations planning, and leadership transitions occurred, including honoring Founding Pastor Rev. Mallory.
2019–2023 Pastor Cornelius B. Scott was appointed. New ministries were established, renovations advanced, pandemic adaptations implemented, and districtwide conferences hosted. The church celebrated significant milestones including note-burning ceremonies, ministry expansions, and district events.
It can be said that a church is not the lengthened shadow of one individual, but the lengthened shadows of faithful, loyal, and dutiful men and women who loved, labored, and prayed for the church throughout its existence.
