Actual history is hard to find. The Warren County Historical Society has one line in their book about the county history accompanying a photo: Below is the Oak Grove Baptist Church, built in 1897.
Found this "The Chosen Ones, Southern gospel artists, will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at Oak Grove Baptist Church, on Highway Y southwest of Jonesburg. The public is invited to attend. For more information, call 636-456-1791." ~ St. Louis Post-Dispatch
