According to www.meyersgaz.org, the Protestant parish for the town of Grünewald (in Neustettin, Köslin, Pommern, Preussen) is Pöhlen; however, this seems a bit odd since it's supposedly 18 miles away and there is a Protestant parish in Grünewald itself.
FamilySearch has baptismal records for the Pöhlen Protestant parish for 1847 on film #1193878 Item 2 (see the parish listing at https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/125397?availability=Family%20History%20Library). The Grünewald Protestant parish records on FamilySearch don't begin until 1872, however.

According to Meyers Gazetteer of the German Empire, Gruenewald, Kreis Neustettin, Pommern, Prussia had its own evangelical parish in 1912. See https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10672133
The "Quellensuche " database of the genealogical society "Pommerscher Greif" lists known resources and their locations. See https://www.pommerscher-greif.de/ortsuebersicht.html?userort=GRUAL2JO83FV The database lists only baptisms, marriages, and burials from 1872 to 1874. The question then is when Gruenewald parish was created. When I looked for that information, I found this history of Gruenewald in English file:///C:/Users/FHL-RefB1-C.A-1046389/Downloads/gruenewald.pdf Hopefully it will provide that information.
This page also has some other links to helpful resources https://www.pommerscher-greif.de/materialien/articles/mat_neustettin.html?file=tl_files/greif%20-%20dokumente/ortsforschung/gruenewald.pdf
Keep in mind that the majority of Pomeranian church records was lost or destroyed as a result of WWII. So it is possible that records for the time period you need no longer exist.
