Greetings and welcome to the website for Locust Grove Church.
We are delighted that you have chosen to visit our site. It is our hope that you will join us either in person or online for worship on Sunday and experience the love and encouragement of Christ.
This is a great community in which to live and raise a family. There is so much to discover here, from the rich history of this part of Madison County to the natural beauty of the mountains and streams that make it such a special place.
Locust Grove was founded in 1867 and has seen many changes over the years. What was once open countryside is now a growing community filled with new homes and businesses. We have embraced these opportunities for growth and ministry, continuing to serve with love and grace.
More than anything, we hope you discover what makes Locust Grove truly special—its people. Here, you will find a genuine sense of community, encouragement, and hope. It may even become a place you call home and a people you call family.
We would love for you to be our guest this Sunday at 10:30 AM for worship. We hope to see you then!
