GROVE CHURCH
Presbyterian. First Church founded by Sctoch-Irish who settled here about 1936.
"Grove Presbyterian was organized by settlers from northern Ireland, brought over in 1736 by Henry McCulloh. The Grove congregation was visited by the Rev. William Robinson of Virginia in 1742, and the Rev. Hugh McAden became its first regular pastor in 1757." ~ Wilmington Star-News
