If you don’t have a smartphone or a GPS you can find the Lord’s Acre by taking 74a (AKA The Charlotte Highway) to 3 tenths of a mile north of the Food Lion in Fairview then turn onto Joe Jenkins Rd right across from the red caboose (your only choice is west). The Lord’s Acre is the first driveway on the left and it will be marked with a BCBC sign.
