Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Circa 1904, Crisp County

This African-American church is located off Georgia Highway 90 near the Hatley community. Other than having been told that this was a black congregation, I spent over ten years trying to identify this church. Thanks to a post to my Vanishing Georgia group on Facebook by Tony Cantrell, I am now confident that it is the original home of the Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, which is now known as New Oak Grove Missionary Baptist and located in Cordele. That church was established in 1940, so perhaps this was used by another congregation from 1904 until that date.

    If this is the one I think it is, my Grandmoma and Granddaddy had a live-in maid and I can remember as a child going with Granddaddy to take her to church here.
