Cowan, formerly with the Methodist Episcopal Church South but then a missionary evangelist for the South Carolina Wesleyan Methodist Conference, placed a tent on the present site of Golden Grove Wesleyan Methodist Church, located on US Highway 178 about three miles south of Liberty. The tent meeting resulted in the organization of Golden Grove Church on the morning of July 23, 1894. Fourteen members made up the original church congregation, and six additional persons joined the newly-formed group at the evening service the same day. After the conclusion of the tent meeting, the congregation worshiped in various homes and perhaps outside during the summer months. The need for a more permanent house of worship was eventually recognized, and John Boggs donated approximately one acre of land on which to construct a building. He reserved a portion of that land for use as a cemetery for the Boggs family. A wood frame building was eventually erected through the efforts of church members and interested persons of the community. Golden Grove's original frame church building was remodeled in 1948: three classrooms were added, the sanctuary was renovated, heating facilities were installed, and the outside was refurbished with brick veneer. In January 1975, further progress was made under the leadership of Oscar Baker Stewart. An acre of land across the highway from the church was given by Mrs. O. M. McKinney, and a parsonage was constructed. Stewart and his family did not occupy the home because he died prior to its completion. Additions to the church were made in 1963-64, when a foyer, porch, and steeple were appended to the front of the church and a library and pastor's study constructed. During these years, renovations were also made to the educational section of the church, the sanctuary was remodeled, and alterations were made to the ceiling, pulpit area, and choir loft. In 1969, Golden Grove Wesleyan Church purchased approximately two acres of land to be used for further expansion of its facilities.
