Union Grove History
Union Grove Church of God was organized in May,1921, by J.L. Underwood and S.W. Latimer. There were 23 charter members. The first Pastor was J.L Underwood and now Rev. Ray Dawson is pastor. Cottage prayer meetings were held by Ellison Williamson and Thomas Drawdy. Services were moved to Medford School House, and the church was organized. The first church building was constructed on Union Road by D.W. Mills and the members. Lumber was donated by B.F. Crumley. In 1949, the church was moved to U.S. Hwy 41 South were a beautiful large church was built. A tract of land adjacent to the churh was purchased, and in 1975, the ground breaking took place for one of South Georgia’s most beautiful churches. This beautiful church has been duplicated many times in Georgia and Florida was designed by Leroy Carver and the Pastor, Billy Dawson.
Union Grove is the mother church to Adel, Tift Ave., Lenox, Omega, Enigma and Carpenter Road. Several ministers have been set forth from Union Grove. Union Grove today is still going strong. Holding on to memories and making new ones.
