Center Grove Baptist Church remains devotedly proud of veterans who have served our nation. Pastor T. J. Bolt and members of Center Grove Baptist Church wish to give tribute to those who have honored our nation with military service, but who are now interred in our cemetery. Billy R. Kirkland’s interment is at Corinth Cemetery, but he was a devoted member of Center Grove Baptist Church since his retirement and return to Cass County in 2011. He frequently conducted Memorial Day and Veterans Day programs at the church and Corinth Cemetery.

Please plan to attend.
