The church grounds and building are well-maintained, but other than a few web-spidered listings, the church has no Internet presence. The "Center Grove" sign on the grounds could refer to the church, it could refer to the community, but a 1984 Texas Historical Marker across the road in front of the Center Grove Cemetery does provide some local history:
This cemetery was originally called the Yancey Cemetery because the first parcel of land was donated by David Yancey, Sr., in the mid-1860s. An orphaned infant, who was a member of the group that traveled with Yancey from Tennessee to Texas, was the first to be buried here. Many of the graves, including the first, are marked with only a rough stone. Veterans of the Civil War and both World Wars have been buried here. The name of the cemetery was changed in 1900 because the graveyard was located in the same area as the Center Grove Church of Christ.
