If weather is bad, an alternate route exists which is approximately the same mileage as above route, however, the roads are paved. From Leesville, take LA Hwy. 28 toward Alexandria. Turn right (south) onto LA Hwy. 121 at Slagle/Hicks cutoff, and go 8.5 miles. Turn left onto LA Hwy. 489 and go 1.0 miles, turn left again onto Laurel Hill Road and go 2.0 miles to the Church which is on the left.
A brief history of the church is provided using information taken from the early Church minutes. Many references were made in the minutes to the graveyard. The membership would often meet at the cemetery for the purpose of cleaning the area. A meal provided by the women was enjoyed by all in attendance. This practice has continued to the present time, and as a consequence the cemetery at Laurel Hill continues to be a clean, well-kept area, a silent testimony of the respect and dignity for the final resting place for all who are buried there. Homecoming is held on the 1st Saturday in July, when descendants of the old members return to enjoy the fellowship of the church.
