The Church was founded by German pioneer immigrants to the area, most arriving on the Oregon trail through Oregon City, and homesteading in the Stafford and Wilsonville area. The church celebrated its 100th anniversary Oct.15, 1992. The first burial in the lower cemetery was Bee Gage in 1891. The earliest known burial in the neighboring Robert Bird cemetery was Oliver J. Walker in 1851. Thus, anyone buried before 1890 is in the upper cemetery, after 1891 they could be in either cemetery. Over time newspaper obituaries variously called the cemetery "The German Baptist Church cemetery" "The cemetery at Stafford", "The Stafford Baptist cemetery", and until 1923 included the section at the top of the hill which was then renamed.
