Groesbeck Church has been in Colerain Township for 175 years beginning as Olive Branch Church on Burnt School House Road (now Cheviot Road). This log building was the center for Methodism for a number of years.
Later, this site was abandoned and The Church continued to meet in the homes of its members until arrangement was made to use the The Round Top School House.
In 1849 a union of two smaller Methodist congregations joined to build the Old Brick Church (a red brick church near Van Zandt Road, now Galbraith Road) and the Church was called West Union.
In 1882 a new structure was built on the same site. It was a white framed building with a bell tower. As the congregation out grew its facilities, a new site was acquired and the first unit, our present fellowship hall and classrooms was completed in 1957. Only a few years later in 1963, the present Sanctuary was completed.
The Church has grown and changed as the surrounding community changed from rural, with horse and buggy transportation; to the bustling community it is today.
