Oak Grove United Methodist
Church
1295 Greenwood Rd.
Decatur TX
This
congregation was organized in 1878 with fourteen charter members
by the Reverend Jim Smith and the Reverend E. C. Fullingim.
In 1880 the church became part of the Decatur circuit, and the
Reverend R. N. Brown served as its first regular pastor. Oak
Grove's original sanctuary was constructed ten miles northeast
of Decatur but was moved to this site in 1902. The current church
building has been in use since 1948. Oak Grove United Methodist,
which traditionally held an August revival camp meeting, stands
as one of the oldest rural churches in Wise County.
