The church was organized in 1873.  The first services were held in a building that was located on the present Oak Grove cemetery site.  That building was a community building that was used for school and other activities. 
     In 1896, I.E. Moore donated an acre of land to the church.  A church was soon built on that site, located in Old Town.  In 1913, the church bought a lot on Jefferson Street.  The church building was put on timbers and the men led mules in pulling it to the new site. 
     In 1917, a storm destroyed the church.  A rumor had it that a traveling evangelist said that the residents of Oak Grove were so sinful that the church should have been destroyed.  A new building was constructed by 1921 at the Jefferson Street location.
     In November 1950, the church bought land on Horner Street.  A new facility was completed at the new site in 1951.
