Our Vision
(Scripture)

Our desire as a family of God is to worship Jesus Christ in spirit and truth and grow in a life-changing relationship that is transforming our lives, families and the world. 

Declaration of Faith
Doctrines and Practices of The Grove

•Verbal inspiration of the Bible
​•Existence of one God eternally present in three persons--the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

•Repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins
•Justification, regeneration, and the new birth are brought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ 
•Sanctification after the new birth through faith in the blood of Christ, through the word, and by the Holy Ghost
•Purity to be God’s standard of living for His people

Missions
"Go ye into all the world..."

We believe in missions at The Grove! We pledge 12% of our income to support missionaries all over the globe. Our outreach in missions work also includes pouring into our local community. Currently, we are working with We Care of Rhea County, as well as helping to support missionaries in the Philippines, Mexico, and Honduras.
