Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church
Arkansas, US
The Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church is a historic church on Hempstead County Route 16, about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of the small town of Blevins, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a Jerkinhead roof, and a steeple topped by a hip roof. It was built in 1942, using in part m
aterials recycled from an 1870 church which was dismantled due to the establishment of the Southwestern Proving Ground in 1940. The church serves an African-American congregation that was, prior to its relocation, in a community that was originally named for, and supported by, Arkansas Senator James Kimbrough Jones. The church property includes a small wood-frame Sunday school building, constructed about the same time as the church, and a cemetery. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
