About UsWe have a motto that we live by here: "You are only a guest once, then you are family!" Here at The Grove, you will find a place to plug in with other believers and deepen your relationship with Christ through worship and the Word. Our church was founded over 100 years ago! While the setting is a little different since our church was established (we are no longer in the middle of a grove of walnut trees), our focus on worship and an authentic relationship with God through Christ has not changed. Please feel free to browse around our site, but remember that we want to see you in person at one of our worship services. We hope to see you soon !

Who We Are |
We believe that the truth of God's Word supercedes all religion and the traditions of men. We have a desire to teach this truth in every area of ministry, to all ages, under every circumstance. We believe in the finished work of the cross; Jesus has provided everything we need to live a life of victory. We believe we are saved, healed, delivered, and changed by His grace. We would love for you to join us on this journey of growing closer to Him every day. We are looking forward to giving you a warm welcome as you worship with us.

Our History |
The history of The Grove reaches all the way back to the early 1900's. Around 1915, there was a small building surrounded by walnut trees. Inside, made comfortable by a wood stove in winter and open windows in summer, you would find pupils studiously listening to their teacher through the week. In this same small building, you would find pillars of the community gather for worship on Sunday.
When refelcting back on what life must have been like in that grove of walnut trees, we see the truth that Paul spoke of in 1 Cor. 10:3. He spoke of one laying the foundation, and another building on that foundation. The Grove is an interesting crossroads between the old and the new. The original building has now been added onto, and surrounded by, a new sanctuary. We have added a recreational facility, classrooms, and a teaching center that is completely debt free. Standing alongside with all of this "new" is the original church bell that sounded the call to worship in this community. Much like the bell, we want to sound the call to our community. Our vision is to see truth presented to all ages. |
