The Groveville United Methodist Church and the Yardville Presbyterian Church combined their Community Theater groups and would do productions at the Groveville Community House on Church Street.
.
The second floor of the building was an auditorium, with a stage, back stage, wings on the side of the stage and a movie screen. There they would hold youth dances, weekend movies, Halloween Parties Minstrel Shows, Magic Shows, community theatre shows and town meetings. Sometimes it was used for Sunday School.
.
The downstairs was a full court Basketball Court, originally it was complete with a wooden floor, until the dampness was the demise of the wooden floor and then it was just concrete. Groveville had a Basketball Team, (pictured earlier in this site) the last one coached by Ed Jones, of Church Street.
.
There was also a full kitchen in the back of the downstairs and many a community dinner was held here.
