Five Mile Presbyterian Church

Five Mile Presbyterian Church was a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) located at 1137 Five Mile Road in Huffman. It was organized in 1841 and held its last service on May 7, 2023.

Its white clapboard wooden church with its tower was built in 1880, a brick sanctuary building was erected next to it and dedicated on October 19, 1958. Inglenook Presbyterian Church merged with the congregation in 1977.

The 1958 building is now owned by the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley and will likely be sold. The wooden building and adjoining cemetery will be placed in a trust.
