Friends of Oak Grove Baptist Church
Helping Our Communities
When people ask us what we do, We tell them that we are responsible for one of the most important missions of all: bringing forgotten historical black churches and cemeteries back to remembrance by being a Christian sphere of influence and compassion in helping our communities.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?"
" Bear ye one another burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
Oak Grove Baptist Church
Oak Grove Baptist Church is our Specific Mission and Purpose in This Season
The historical Oak Grove Baptist Church, based in York County, Virginia, was established as a daughter church of The First Baptist Church of Williamsburg VA, one of the oldest African American Baptist congregations in the country. Its congregants were displaced multiple times, but Oak Grove remains a church centered in our community. The current pastor is Pastor Steven Keller.
