HomeCemeteriesHilltop Mission Church Cemetery

Located in the Springdale Community of Kingsport, near Sullivan Gardens.  The entrance to the Hilltop Mission Church, Hilltop Mission Cemetery, and Pierce Chapel AME Cemetery is near 1821 Seaver Road. A sign at the road reads “Hilltop Mission Church.”

Pierce Chapel AME Cemetery is the first site on the left. Continue down the road, and the entrance to Hilltop Mission Cemetery is on the right. The cemetery is accessible by a very steep dirt driveway. It is definitely not for a low-bottomed vehicle! Continuing past the cemetery entrance, the Hilltop Mission Church is at the end of the road.

  1. I was 26 years old and one of the pallbearers for this mighty man of God. He took me under his mentorship at a young age and taught me a lot about how to enter and stay in God’s presence.
    Back in the early 90′ I and a friend visited his grave when all kinds of trouble was coming against me.
    All of a sudden a small whirlwind brought leaves out of the nearby woods all the way across the graves then stopped and danced on his grave then opened my bible and it fell open to Paul speaking of a man called up into the third Heaven. Wow
