Oak Grove Mennonite Church (Conservative Mennonite Conference), located about five miles west and one-half miles (10 km) south of Adair, Mayes County, Oklahoma, had its beginning as a mission station about 1927, when Monroe Hostetler of Hesston, Kansas, located in the community and conducted a Sunday school in the schoolhouse. Later preaching services were also arranged for and a mission was organized under the South Central Mennonite Conference (MC). Richard Birky (1913-1991) served as the resident pastor 1942-1947. In 1944 a house was remodeled as a church. In the spring of 1957 a new concrete block building was finished and dedicated; this building is located five miles west of Adair on Highway 28. In 1956 the membership was 21, with Richard Birky as pastor again, now also a bishop (ordained 1949).
In 2012 the church was a member of the Conservative Mennonite Conference. Carl Helmuth was the pastor and the membership was 25.
