Description of Organization

Three Rivers Presbyterian was founded in 2014 and particularized in 2015 with the vision that “the earth would be filled with the knowledge of God.”  The need for the Gospel and sound doctrine was and is as prevalent in the rural retirement community of Grove, Oklahoma as it is in any metropolitan city.  Three Rivers was not born to provide people with another option for worship, but rather a mission to bear witness that our God will draw a people to Himself and that His Word will not return to Him empty.  We have seen the evidence of God’s faithfulness in that we have grown from a few families to a regular average attendance of 55.  

The Teaching elder and pastor of Three Rivers will be leading our church out of its infancy in both size and outreach.  We seek a pastor who will lead our worship in a confessional manner and that will unapologetically proclaim the truth of God’s Word in the community of Grove, OK.
