Oak Grove Presbyterian Church,  Prosperity, SC

Oak Grove Presbyterian Church

Oak Grove Presbyterian Church was begun in 1875 by an AME minister, Rev. W. D. Rice who served for 33 years.  Soon after the church was formally organized, Rev. Rice took the necessary steps for the congregation to become a part of the United Presbyterian Church in the United States.  The years came and went and many pastors served the congregation faithfully.  Under the direction of Rev. R. E. Pearson, the present church building was constructed in 1968.  In 1979 Oak Grove called Rev. Calvin Dixon as pastor.  Rev. Dixon helped the church move forward in its mission objectives and congregational life.  In 1991 Rev. Alma O'Bryant became the pastor.  During Rev. O'Bryant's pastorate, a fellowship hall was erected.  She helped the church in its many areas of service to community, both in and outside the congregation.  Rev. O'Bryant retired in 2007 after faithfully serving for 16 years.  Today Oak Grove continues to share the Gospel and to affirm the Christian faith of the present and the future.

Upcoming Events at Trinity Presbytery:

Earth Sunday and Beyond

On Sunday, April 20th many churches celebrated Earth Sunday.  Events ranged from earth-friendly meals to sermons based on God's gift to us - this beautiful earthly home.  As Christians we are called to care for this planet - not because we worship the creatures but because we worship the Creator.  God made all things "good" and for our use - not abuse. 

Westminster Presbyterian Church in Columbia is now a certified Wildlife Habitat.  The certificate was presented during the April 20th worship service.  Also, 16 church members have had their yards certified as well.  Forest Lake Presbyterian was certified last year and has been active in the larger community in their environmental efforts.  May these two churches inspire other congregations to follow suit!

 The National Council of Churches of Christ presented PC(USA) with a tree to be planted on the grounds of the denomination's headquarters in Louisville in celebration of Earth Day and the ecological vision contained in the new ecumenical Social Creed.   Click here to read the story.
