The Groves Community Seventh-day Adventist Church marked a significant milestone on Nov. 9, 2024, with a mortgage-burning ceremony, celebrating the payoff of their building’s mortgage.
Established in 1937 as the Port Arthur Seventh-day Adventist Church, the church relocated to Groves in 1980, doubling its membership. Hurricane Rita destroyed the facility in 2005, but construction of a new building began in 2007, with a fellowship hall completed in 2009 and the sanctuary in 2011.
This achievement highlights God’s provision and the dedication of the church community.
