Neighbors Grove is part of The Wesleyan Church which is an evangelical, Protestant
denomination. We offer the good news that faith in Jesus Christ makes possible a
wonderful personal relationship with God, a holy life empowered by His Holy Spirit for
witness and service, and assurance of eternal life in heaven. Our ministries emphasize
practical Bible teaching, uplifting worship, and special programs to meet a variety of life
needs.
With World Headquarters in Fishers, Indiana, The Wesleyan Church has nearly 400,000
constituents in 5,000 churches and missions in 80 countries of the world. Formed in
1968 resulting from the mergers of several like-minded groups, dating back as far as
1843, The Wesleyan Church has its roots in John Wesley’s Methodism.
Local History
Our congregation began in 1879 as a “brush arbor” meeting at a site about ½ mile from
our current location. J.A. Neighbors donated a one acre tract of land a few years later.
This small property was the beginning of our current campus which includes 4 buildings,
parking lots, playgrounds, and a cemetery. Our name, Neighbors Grove, was chosen
in honor of the original land donor and in recognition of the grove of trees which was
originally on the site. For over 130 years our church has served the North Asheboro
community, throughout Randolph County and around the world.
