The History of Pine Grove

 

Pine Grove Community Church began as a Bible study meeting at Fort Wilderness in 1979 and by 1986, we had grown considerably and incorporated as Wilderness Bible Fellowship.

 

In 1988 we hired our first full time pastor.

 

In 1993, we moved to temporary facilities at a local elementary school and our name was changed to Pine Grove Community Church. 

​

In April 1994, God provided for the purchase of our old facility at 5840 Forest Lane; this location is now The Pines Event Center.

 

Jeff O’Malley has served as Associate Pastor of Congregational Life since October 2008.

 

Pastor Jeremy Vander Galien has served as Senior Pastor since December of 2015.

 

On December 2, 2018 we held our first worship service at our current home on 1360 N. Stevens Street.

 

In September 2021, Marc White began as our Associate Pastor of Worship.

 

​We are thankful for God’s faithfulness to us over the years and we look forward to His continual work at Pine Grove Community Church.  To God be the glory in all things!
