Walnut Grove Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

Walnut Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Clarksville worships Sunday at 8 a.m. in person and live on Facebook or YouTube. Sunday School follows at 9:30. Wednesday Bible study streams at 6:30 p.m. This unusually early worship schedule lets visitors attend the main service and remain for smaller-group learning afterward. The guest page describes a warm, multigenerational environment with programs for different ages and interests, while the public beliefs emphasize salvation by grace through faith and the continuing call to share the gospel.

The congregation was originally known as Little Walnut Grove Missionary Baptist Church and appears to have been organized soon after the Emancipation Proclamation under the leadership of the Rev. Caleb Barker. Later growth led to facility expansion in 1976, remodeling in 1991, and the creation of an outreach ministry. That long local history gives the church a distinct place in Clarksville's Black Baptist heritage. Its stated priorities include worshiping Christ and reaching neighbors, coworkers, and the wider community. Prospective visitors can watch the 8 a.m. service before attending, then use Sunday School as a more personal introduction. The current public pages do not spell out nursery or class age ranges, so families should contact the church about children's arrangements and confirm holiday changes to the early Sunday schedule.
