Oak Grove Baptist Church has supported The Way since the ministry’s beginning in 2011. It now supports The Way’s building fund, which makes it officially a Proud Sponsor of The Way.
“The Way is a good home mission project for our youth,” said Brother Larry Wilson, current interim pastor.
Oak Grove member Martha Davis is one of the hardest-working volunteers at The Way. She’s not only a member of the board of directors and a weekly volunteer at the youth center, but she’s also co-chair of The Way’s fundraising efforts for a new building.
The church began when a group of Baptists in the Oak Grove community began meeting for worship in a grove near its present location. This group reportedly used the Guier Schoolhouse until a church was erected in 1875 on land donated by Stanley Thomas and Humphrey Lawrence.
A new house of worship was built in 1904, with the current sanctuary being erected in 1973.
Oak Grove Baptist Church is located at 45 Floyd Sumner Road in Cadiz. Sunday School is at 9:00 a.m. and morning worship at 10:00 a.m.
