Pine Grove No. 2 Baptist Church (The Grove), Albertville, celebrated its 100th anniversary July 13.
Former pastors Dustin Taylor, Jim Kilpatrick, Welton Brooks and Johnny Taylor shared memories. Special music was brought by The Lacy Family.
Gerald Glenn presented the church with a certificate from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission. Photos and the altar bench saved from the fire that destroyed the church in 1972 were on display. The article “The Beginning of Pine Grove Church” by Maude Beam also was available.
Dustin Taylor, the church’s longest serving pastor, was presented with a special podium.
“The day was a huge success. There was a big crowd,” church member James Dobbins said. A reception followed the service. Matt Stover is pastor.
