The Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church and School, in Whigham, Georgia, in Grady County, United States, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.^[1]

The Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in the 1860s. It obtained the Martin Avenue property in 1878. The first church built there, a log building, was destroyed by fire in 1920, and the present church was then built that same year.^[2]

The schoolhouse on the property was built around 1930, and was the only school for black children of Whigham and the area until segregation was ended in the 1970s.^[2]

Regular worship at the church ceased in the 1980s; in 2008 the church was being rehabilitated.^[2]
