Hacoda Baptist holds ground-breaking ceremony

Hacoda Baptist Church, Samson, in Geneva County holds a ground-breaking ceremony Feb. 12 for the expansion of its fellowship hall, scheduled to be completed by the end of May. The hall is used in various community outreach events and is in need of expanding, according to Pastor Bob Cox. The church hosts a fourth Sunday dinner that is a ‘great community outreach’ and the expansion will more than double the hall’s current seating capacity, according to deacon Steve Simmons, who is the director and chairman of the building project. The church also hosts Jeep Sullivan’s Outdoor Adventures for Wounded Warriors events, civic clubs, wedding receptions, banquets and more for families in the area.
