Mission Statement

We will be the Body of Christ in our community by connecting with God, growing in discipleship, and serving the world.

Annual Conference Website
Annual Conference Summary

Oak Grove UMC received monetary compensation for an upcoming Battlefield-Great Bridge Blvd construction project. The Finance Committee wisely invested that money.

As a result, we've been able to complete several necessary building upgrades.


We've been able to replace all FIVE (5) HVAC units in the Children's Wing building, at a cost of $60,000! The pictures show how difficult the project was.


The second building upgrade consisted of improving the crawlspace under the Historic Sanctuary. The cost of this project was $25,000.


Completed items were:

  • Laying 14mil plastic vapor barrier under entire building
  • Sealing exterior vents
  • Installing 2 dehumidifiers
  • Installing a new sump pump that discharges water into the north drainage area
  • Installing a heat/humidity monitoring station for both exterior and under sanctuary conditions


Plus, we upgraded our lawn mower which we use to do our own landscaping!


Thanks be to God!
