Grove Hill New Mission Church
Grove Hill New Mission Church (also Omena Presbyterian Church ) is a historic church building in Omena in Leelanau County ( Michigan , USA).
In 1858 Pastor Peter Dougherty commissioned three carpenters based in Omena to build the church based on the "New England church design" model. The church was used for church services until 1871, when financial bottlenecks led to the closure of the church and the mission established there in 1852. The latter was the trigger for the construction of the church and the establishment of the Omena community.
In 1885 it was reopened as a Congregational Church . Since 1925 it has been used mainly in the summer months and is still a Presbyterian church and serves as such.
The church was declared a Historic Site of Michigan in 1970 and was recognized as a National Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places on June 29, 1972 . The church is also the Contributing Property of the Omena Historic District , which was formed in January 2017.
