Founded in the early 19th century as Murray's Church, this church was served by ministers riding the Cypress Circuit and was originally named for the Murray family, which also gave the town its first name of Murray's Crossroads. The first church here was damaged by a storm in 1878 and was replaced by the present heart pine church, built by Philip and Jim Liston in 1890~97. In 1905, Murray's Church was renamed Grover Methodist Church after the Murray's Crossroads post office was renamed Grover. In the 1960's, the church undertook several renovations, covering the 1897 frame church with brick veneer, remodeling an early 20th century school for its Sunday school building and later a fellowship hall, and moving the 1912 bell from the steeple to a bell tower.
